Dear brothers and sisters,
I am Wyawaqacumen, "Walking Everywhere."
I was given this name by the Wenetgo Lenape when I was a young man. This name has special meaning to me as does the culture from which it comes.
It is nice to meet all of you and I thank you for your invitation to this gathering.
I wish to thank you with these words.
Kishelemieng! Temakeleminen ok ongundewaken milinen. Weli nipalinen. Welamalsewakan milinen. Kenahkinhinen. Nuxati getemaktunhe.
Great Manito! Take pity on us and offer us a blessing. Stand us up well. Give us happiness and joy. Watch over us. I ask this humbly great spirit.
Dapi wyawaqacumen nan. Dapi maxkw ok mochipwis nan.
Here, I am "Walking Everywhere." Here, I am the bear and buzzard man.
