About Me
This isn't about me. I am just some guy who has a deep and abiding adoration for the Shawnee people, customs, and language. I created a palm pilot dictionary based on the collection Shawnee wordlists in the late 90's and planned make a more user friendly resource for ages, and only recently picked it back up. I hope this resource helps like-minded people keep the Shawnee language alive.
