Moshup the Giant represents the large and great beings. To maintain balance, he marries Granny Squannit, leader of the magical woodland Little People. Moshup figures in stories told by the Mohegans, Wampanoags and other coastal tribes. In one story, when Moshup was trying to build a bridge between Martha's Vineyard and the mainland, a crab bit his toe, causing him to leave footprints all over the area.

Eccentric nineteenth-century scholar Constantine Rafinesque composes a Native American epic Constantine Rafinesque According to the 19th-century scholar Constantine Rafinesque, an ancient Lenape (Delaware) Indian tradition preserved the memory of the tribe crossing the frozen Bering Strait from Asia into America thousands of years ago.
Rafinesque said his source, which he translated himself, was the Walam Olum or "Red Record," a bundle of wooden plaques engraved and painted with supposed Lenape symbols. Constantine Samuel Rafinesque. Biography[edit] Rafinesque was born on October 22, 1783[4] in Galata, a suburb of Constantinople.[5][6] His father F.
G. Rafinesque was a French merchant from Marseilles; his mother M. Schmaltz was of German descent and born in Constantinople.[5] His father died in Philadelphia about 1793.[7] Rafinesque spent his youth in Marseilles,[5] and was mostly self-educated, he never attended University.[8][9] By the age of twelve, he had begun collecting plants for a herbarium.[10] By fourteen, he taught himself perfect Greek and Latin because he needed to follow footnotes in the books he was reading in his grandmothers' libraries.
Walam Olum. The Walam Olum or Walum Olum, usually translated as "Red Record" or "Red Score," is purportedly a historical narrative of the Lenape (Delaware) Native American tribe.
The document has provoked controversy as to its authenticity since its publication in the 1830s by botanist and antiquarian Constantine Samuel Rafinesque. Ethnographic studies in the 1980s and analysis in the 1990s of Rafinesque's manuscripts have produced significant evidence that the document is a hoax. Some Delaware people, however, believe Rafinesque based his writing on actual Lenape stories.[1] Walam Olum pictograph. Munsee language. Map showing the aboriginal boundaries of Delaware territories, with Munsee territory the lightly shaded northernmost area, and Unami to the south Munsee (also known as Munsee Delaware, Delaware, Ontario Delaware) is an endangered language of the Eastern Algonquian subgroup of the Algonquian language family, itself a branch of the Algic language family.
Munsee is one of the two Delaware languages. It is very closely related to the extinct Unami Delaware, but the two are sufficiently different that they are considered separate languages. Munsee was spoken aboriginally in the vicinity of the modern New York City area in the United States, including western Long Island, Manhattan Island, Staten Island, as well as adjacent areas on the mainland: southeastern New York State, the northern third of New Jersey, and northeastern Pennsylvania.[2][3] Classification[edit] Native Prisoner Penpal List: A-Z.

NATIVE AMERICAN FREE EXERCISE OF RELIGION ACT OF 1993. Native American Spirituality In The United States Prison System {Part 3: Native Voices} - Multicultural Familia. Image: Flickr / leafdot Welcome back to our series on Native American Spirituality In The United States Prison System.

We don't need to be persuaded that there is an immense problem in this area at this time. It is a problem on every continent, in every nation.
