Message Board Post:
I am familiar with the theory Jacob Castle`s wife, Sowegee being Shawnee but I propose
that we consider since the name "Cherokee" is an oral translation and phonetic
derivation of the Algonquin name "Tsal i gee"
Then I propose that "Sowegee" could also be derived from the word "Tsal i
gee"
Before you start sending hate mail I just ask you to run it over your tongue a few times
and then tell me what you really think.
Sincerely,
Sue Engle, 4th grtgrand dau. of Jacob Castle on 2 lines
For some reason I have just never felt very "Shawnee"
