Can we get a new map here? I would move it higher up, but what's there is unacceptable. The image quality is poor and the Catskill Park Blue Line is drawn woefully incorrectly.

There is a map here, not very good yet, but still:

What's the copyright status? Can we use it? Daniel Case 03:07, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Alright, I suppose the Lenape lesson is justifiable. Anyone want to try putting the pronunciation in IPA?

Thank you for the quick addition of the IPA. Now, how about adding the change on Answers.com? ctspatz@earthlink.net

That gets picked up by their servers automatically every few weeks (or months). As recent events should remind us, those scrape sites are beyond the editorial control of anyone here at Wikipedia. Daniel Case 04:00, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Thank you. ctspatz@earthlink.net

I have seen very old maps of this area, which identified "Shongum" ( SHAW-an-gunk ) as meaning "Southern" ; and it will be noted this is the southern edge of the Catskill mountains.

Reference will be made to the Muncie, Monsey, and Minnissee / Min'cey/ Minnisink tribes that made these mountains their "base camp" , but spent much of their time "on the trail" : fishing on the Jersey shore,raiding, etc. These were all the same "Mountain-Dwelling People": differences in names being due to minor variations in dialect. 8.16.07 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Whritenour's translation discredits all the previous "southern" references. The first and fifth footnotes are mis-cited. The first footnote credited to Fried is actually a direct quotation from Smoke Signals, the fifth footnote. The footnote for should Fried should follow the sentence ending with purchase in the second graph under Name. If I knew how to edit these, I would.
