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."; May contain some terms of Munsee origin.
