<p>Oh my Spirit Hawk your definition is much more eloquent than mine and my I say even more correct than mine. The Aki had no concept of land ownership. How could a deer or an eagle own land? Land was where you lived and hunted and provided food for your family it belonged to all who knew of it and lived on it and people got called by either what they ate or a nearby landmark not to denote a seperate nation or tribe as we were all one family. It was used to know who you were talking about and where they could be found. Hence Tanakiwinaki all of the tribe names ended with Aki at one time and were changed as contact with french priests who wrote aki as ois. As in Iroquois or Sourquois in the south US english scholars wrote Aki as nee and kee as is Shawnee and Cherokee Shawnee is really Shawneaki so there is as much as I know little as it is.</p>

<p>Thank you for you kind reply Velma. Yes you are absolutely correct the creation Legends have been areound since creation.

Either name is fine just Tanakiwinaki is the proper name. Much like Kanata and Canada both are correct but the Original name is…</p>
