Wonder what Topenebee means... well, the "books" say quietly sitting Bear, or quietly sitting Eagle...one day during my research, I ran across an old old fur traders journal, in it he was taking notes of the language in the area... one word, Toben, meant Noisy then of course, nini meant Man...Noisy Man sounds about right to me seeings how he was the main chief, the talker of the tribe etc..... the books also claim that Pokgaon meant rib, cuz they claim that Pokagon had a human rib on him when they captured him... according to my fur traders notes, Pokagon, meant Human Flesh... ewwwwwwwwwww I shudder to think...lol Cindy -------Original Message------- From: NISHNAWBE-L@rootsweb.com Date: Sunday, November 30, 2003 10:35:09 To: NISHNAWBE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NISHNAWBE] Agacouchin, Charles F.
