When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself.
Tecumseh


A papoose (from the Algonquianpapoose, meaning “child”) is an American English loanword whose present meaning is “a Native American child” (regardless of tribe) or, even more generally, any child, usually used as a term of endearment, often in the context of the child’s mother. The word came originally from the Narragansett tribe. In 1643, Roger Williams recorded the word in his A Key Into the Language of America, helping to popularize it.[1]
