CONTENT DESCRIPTION

| Abstract | | Identified by Ives Goddard (see Related Resource) as a woman's vision-recital song. According to Speck's documentation the song is "sung by J. Webber as his grandmother's song. She was Mawatdes 'Bundle in Good Shape' She died 1912, at age 109 years." Goddard alternately translates Mawatdes as of Munsee origin, meaning "One-Who-Has-No-Food." Speck's introduces the recording: "This is the song of Mawatdes, one of the oldest living women that the Delaware and Munsee tribes had. [She] died at the age of 109 years old, according to the scripture(?) as it was calculated from the place she gives of her birth. Her song follows." |
| Note | | May contain some terms of Munsee origin. This recording has been identified as culturally sensitive. Remote access and reproduction is restricted. Please contact the Curator of Native American Materials for more information. |
