Lenni-Lenape FirstSong.

The Creation

1. At first there was nothing but seawater
on the top of the land, Aki.
2. There was much water, and much fog
over the land, and there was also KITANITOWIT,
the God-creator.
3. And this God-creator was the firstbeing
(Saye-wis\ an eternal being, and in
visible although every where.
4. It was he who caused much water,
much land, much cloud, much heaven.
5. It was he who caused the sun, the
moon and the stars.
6. And all these he caused to move
well.
7. By his action, it blew hard, it cleared
up, and the deep water ran off.
8. It looks bright, and islands stood
there. Menak.
9. It was then, when again the God-
Creator made the makers or spirits.
Manito-Manitoak.
10. And also the first beings Owiniwak,
and also the angels Angelatawiwak, and
also the souls Chichankwak, all them he
made.
11. And afterwards he made the manbeing
JIN-WIS, ancestor of the men.
12. He gave him the first mother NETAMIGAHO,
mother of the first beings OWINI.
13. And fishes he gave him, turtles he
gave him, beasts he gave him, birds he gave him.
14. But there was a bad spirit Makimani,
who caused the bad beings Makowini,
black snakes Nakowak, and monsters
or large reptiles Amangamek.
15. And caused also flies, and caused
also gnats.
16. All the beings were then friends and
stood there.
17. Thou being KIWIS, good God Wu-
NAND (these are 2 gods) and the good ma
kers or spirits were such.
18. With the Jins NIJINI, the first men,
and the first mother, their wives, which
were Fairies Nantinewak.
19. The first food of the Jins and Fairies
Pwas a fat fruit Gattamin.
20. All were willingly-pleased, all were
easy-thinking, and all were vell-happified.
21. But after awhile a Snake-priest,
Powako, brings on earth secretly the
Snake worship Initako, of the god of the
Snakes WAKON.
22. And there came wickedness, crime
and unhappiness.
23. And bad weather was coming, dis
temper was coming, with death was coming.
24. All this happened very long ago, at
the first land Netamald, beyond the great
ocean Kitahikan.

Catherine Pilard

A King's Daughter,of Algonquian-Siberian origin, born in France about 1651...

What is wrong with this picture...?

Study Background

The traditional belief regarding the origins of Catherine Pillard is that she was born in La Rochelle, France, immigrated to Quebec around 1663 as a "King's daughter", and later married Pierre Charron. Pierre and Catherine had twelve children from their marriage. Their descendants today include all the authors of this study.

Historically, there has been little reason to bring Catherine's origins into question. There is a baptismal record for Catherine, daughter of Pierre Pillard and Marguerite (...) dated March 30, 1646 (70), in Ste Marguerite chapel in the parish Notre-Dame-de-Cougnes in La Rochelle, France. The record is hard to decipher, and the mother's name is missing; according to Fichier Origine and the Research Program in Historical Demography (71), her name is probably Marguerite Moulinet.

Even with the collective experience in native genealogy and history of the researchers involved in this study, they never considered Catherine Pillard a "person of interest" in any Native American DNA before today. The authors knew her origin, her parents, and that a baptismal record had been found in recent years. She was from a period when women are listed on ship records from France to Nouvelle-France. There was no obvious "red flag". Nevertheless, her estimated age upon arrival based on census records, the delay between arrival and marriage, and the many variations of her surname often not even phonetically similar, could have drawn attention.

However, recent DNA evidences bring the traditional notion of her origins under serious scrutiny. Current DNA evidence now suggests the strong likelihood of her maternal origin in the Americas, specifically in Quebec, and the virtual impossibility of her originating from France.

How did this surprising turn of events come about? Advances in DNA testing, its availability to ordinary individuals, as well as remarkable coincidences, led the authors to gather genetic and genealogical evidences about the true origins of Catherine Pillard.

For some people religion is useful but for others it is only a policeman.

We are sheep kept to provide wool for our masters who feed us and keep us as
slaves of illusion. But we have a chance of escape and our masters are
anxious to help us, but we like being sheep. It is comfortable.
He who can love can be; he who can be can do; he who can do is.
