This word cannot be said, is is very disrespectful and American Indians never used it, and today it is a despised word. The writing in ink was not made by the artist and may have been added at a later time (?). Just sayin' . I noticed your comment processing blocked the message from being posted when it contained the word, so you know. Good work. Ojibwe Artist
