15th Day of Whippoorwill Moon (2020)
’15 wiihkoowia kiilhswa (2020)’

Today, it’s  a little chilly (49℉) and raining continuously in the Great Miami River Valley.
‘noonki kaahkiihkwe tikawi neepanki (49℉) šeepilaanki ahsenisiipionki.’

Tonight, the Whippoorwill Moon is full (waning). Y’all plant corn!
‘noonki peehkonteeki waawiyiisita wiihkoowia kiilhswa (peemineeta). ansiwaatooko miincipi!’

    Hi. I am still researching my family tree in regard to the Miami Indians. I am curious, is the name Palonne, mean anything in their language? I have seen the name several times in peoples research with no meaning attached. Thank you for your time.

      aya ‘Greetings’ Kimberly, Palonne doesn’t look like a Myaamia name. Our names almost always end with the sound “a.” Have you observed this word on a primary source document? Historical context might help determine what the word means.
