Good site Eddie, enjoy reading the comments, and to all you out there, Eddie took me on a tour of the Health Center garden and it was pretty awesome. Eddie has put alot of hard work into this effort.

That’s awesome. I’m glad to hear the program is still going. I wrote the grant for that program when I was with the clinic. Mike Jensen and Randy Mitchell worked on the project with me, and Tim Mendez built the little greenhouse we had.

Eddie Joe,
You referred several times in your blog to a gardening program on the rez. Do you work for the Traditional Foods to Prevent Diabetes grant program at the clinic?

Ah yes, I found similar variations on the Potawatomi Dictionary website.

nanimwe glad i get comments. pama means later and mine means again so that is saying later again not see you again. ‘wap’ is the verb to look or see. you can use it in a variety of forms to mean lotsa things. but my knowledge of the language is limited. just know a little bit.

I was familiar with the phrase ‘pama mine’ but hadn’t heard ‘kowapmen’. If you’re grandmother used it then I doubt there are too many of the language police that can say that its wrong.

when you say ‘pama mine kowapmen’ that means ’see you again’. thats just one way of saying that. i suppose the language police will say its wrong but my mother said it that way.
