It is SO refreshing to hear the Native names, and pronounced (hopefully) as they once were. In Virginia, we have the Monacan, Seminole, Shenandoah, Rappahanock, Chincoteague, Assateague, and Puncateague, to name a few, and except for the first two, either towns or regions have been named for them. Our local Native American descendants are very active and have Pow-Wows annually to keep their traditions alive.
And to keep this "lace related"... One of the first bits of "old lace" I ever saw was a bit of "Sprang" (if I'm not mistaken), made by Indians in the Southwest in the mid 1800's.
