This may be old news to some, but it’s new to me:
http://www.ncmuseumofhistory.org/workshops/indian/session4_lesson28.html
It came from here (scroll down to Occaneechi Language Resource Development Program):

Hi Beeleaf, Thank-You(or should I say Pila Huc) for posting these links. I so enjoyed looking them over. I know they are currently working on piecing the Saponi language back together and I am thirsty to hear anything on their progress. It looks like an uphill battle to say the least, but I think it is so important and I am really pulling for them to say the least!!! I have some Cherokee blood too and I’m taking the online classes to learn and read the language. Its a slow process and I realize it will be years before I will be somewhat fluent. Maybe many years. By that time I hope they will be sucessful in reviving the Saponi language and then maybe I can learn my GGGrandma Palmers ancestral language. By the way, I so enjoy hearing you guys talk about going to the Powwows in your area. You guys are so lucky you live driving distance from them.I hope next year I can go to some of them out there. I live in St. Louis and there is one inter-tribal Powwow very very near me they have every year at Cahokia Mounds in Sept. and I really can’t wait. Look forward to reading your posts. You seem like such a nice person. Pila Huc again!!! Jeff in St. Louis
Hi All,
Here are a few more Tutelo Souces from the archives I posted here in April that might still be useful:

“Do you know about the Tutelo-Saponi Language Lesson in the Fall Issue of the Occaneechi-Saponi Newsletter? It’s on page 5.
http://www.occaneechi-saponi.org/downloadables/Fall_Newsletter.pdf
And here’s lessons 28 & 29:

And here is a link to The Tutelo tribe and language : read before the American Philosophical Society, March 2, 1883
Principal Author: Hale, Horatio, 1817-1896.

this is page 36 where the word list starts.”
Thanks to you, beeleaf, for keeping this alive.
I think it would be nice to also bring Michael Dunn’s wonder link forward again for the newer viewers:

Rather interesting, I thought.

The full Tutelo Immersion Thread is here:http://www.saponitown.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2990
I would like to alert newer people to utilizing the archives way down in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. (It took me awhile to catch on to this myself.) 😮 🙂

Thought this pow wow would be interesting to go to…however it has been cancelled this year. The center looks quite interesting, we will have to stop in, when we get back on the road again 🙂

That does look like an interesting place.
Thanks Bee, it is good to see your smiling face too 🙂
We are going to put this on our list, which is rather “Big”, I love to see how it all ties together…I know I have posted, but you should read Ed McGaa’s book Native Wisdom, where he speaks of the Sioux coming from the VA/NC Piedmont…very enlightening:)
Blessings,
Shirley
