Wneewa is a Mahegin word.  Simply translated it means, “I thank you.” The Mahegins are part of my Algonquin ancestors who I connect to through my mother and our Grandmothers. The Mahegins have mostly returned to dust and their language is almost forgotten, so, it pleases me to offer wneewa to the winds today, in gratitude. Wneewa is a “thought word” which conveys a sense of All that is NOT me; the Whole that contains You. You/I merge with thanks in a single thought; wneewa. This fills me with such satisfaction.  Sometimes I imagine a world that my ancestors took for granted where in thanks we are inseparable. Could it be so simple?
