I asked him if ever he went thither to speak to him. He said, “No; they never went that were young men; none went thither but the old men,” whom he called their Oowokakee; that is, as I made him explain to me, their religious, or clergy; and that they went to say O (so he called saying prayers), and then came back and told them what Benamuckee said.
Chiesi un giorno a Venerdì se fosse mai andato a parlargli. — No, giovani non andarci; andarci solamente vecchi, i nostri Oowokakee.» Fattami spiegare questa parola, intesi che costoro erano i suoi sacerdoti, una specie di clero, quelli che andavano a dire O (cioè a far orazione), e che, calati dalle alte montagne, venivano a riportare al popolo i detti di Benamuchee.
