Very Good to Excellent condition - minor blemish.
The #Peguis First Nation has members of #Ojibwe and Cree descent. Ojibwe, aka #Ojibway or Anishinaabemowin (among other names), belongs to the #Algonquian language family and is characterized by a series of dialects with local names and frequently local writing systems

Matoaka, also known as Pocahontas, was the daughter of Chief Wahunsenacawh among a confederacy of Algonquian-speaking Powhatan people in the region that would become known as the British colonial settlement of Virginia. When she was about 11, in 1607, John Smith and other representatives of the Virginia Company of London established a settlement they called "Jamestown" along the Powhatan River, named after Chief Powhatan, the paramount leader of the Powhatan Chiefdom and the many Algonquian communities of the region. The river's English name, "James River," was adopted by the colonists to honor King James I of England. Matoaka promoted peaceful relations between the foreign colonizers and the local native indigenous peoples of Tsenacommacah (the Powhatan name for their homeland in what encompasses parts of modern day Eastern Virginia). Yet in 1613, when Matoaka was about 16, English colonists kidnapped and ransomed her for corn, guns, and prisoners. While in captivity, Pocahontas was converted to Christianity, given the name Rebecca, and married to a tobacco farmer named John Rolfe in April 1614. Their son, Thomas, was born the following year in January 1615. Eager to publicize Pocahontas’s apparent assimilation as a means of attracting investors, the Virginia Company transported her to England, where she arrived in June 1616. This oval painting, based on an engraving by Dutch artist Simon van de Passe, depicts Pocahontas as an affluent Englishwoman wearing a dark hat with gold trim, a white lace collar, and a richly colored red and green outfit while holding a white feather fan in her right hand. Inscriptions proclaim her royal lineage, Christian religion, and marital status (confusing her son’s name with her husband’s). Sadly, Pocahontas never returned to her homeland as she took ill and died just 9 months after arriving in England. Over the next 400 years, Matoaka's brief life inspired tributes and legends, including a fictitious romance with John Smith.

Unlike most countries, the U.S. has NO OFFICIAL LANGUAGE. (Just as it has NO OFFICIAL RELIGION.) That is BY DESIGN. Because the #FoundingFathers knew it would compromise #FREEDOMofSPEECH. IF we did have an #OfficialLanguage, it should be #ALGONQUIAN.
