Quiz...(religion: it's not just for whites anymore) :-)

LaXayEm! kopa maika (back at you?) David--

1. tL!eminxwIt. Blanchet did his first teaching/missionizing in the
northwest from Ft Vancouver/Cowlitz, I think. But, he came out from the
n.e. where he'd been missionizing the MicMacs, so he maybe didn't speak
chInuk?

2. "Slocum tum-tum"  Bostm nim "Indian Shaker Church" after John Slocum,
nawitka?

3. (b)--a device apparently invented by Fr Blanchet (1839)--maybe up at
Cowlitz, to teach the history of creation & Cath church. Oregon Historical
Quarterly, Spring '96, p. 70-88, article & pix about these saghalie sticks.

4. Almost seems like a pun on "blackrobes"! Lee? Spaulding? Whitman? Maybe
Slocum himself? I don't know!
