I am a fourth generation descendant of Kik thewenund (Chief Anderson) on my mothers side. Pushies was my g-g-g grandfather. I am currently living in Oklahoma with my peeps. I do a lot of singing at the powwows here, as long as my voice holds out. I am 62 years old and pretty close to being a full blood Lenape. Of course ol' Anderson was a half-breed, somehow I get the feeling Sawannock and Pushies weren't his children. His wife up and left him with the two when they were still babies. That seems unusual for that time period. Whatever. I hear there might be a powwow coming up in your area. I am interested in such things and might head up there this year.

The city of Anderson is named for Chief William Anderson, whose mother was a Delaware (Lenape) Indian and whose father was of Swedish descent. Chief Anderson's Indian name was Kikthawenund meaning "making a noise" or "causing to crack" and is spelled in a variety of ways.

Thank you for the info momma! Maybe I will see you there!
It ranslates to "Beaver". My grandmother, on my mother's side, passed away sometime ago. She was born in the late 1800's. As a small boy I had the chance to live with her. She was actually quite fluent in our language. Long story short; once she passed on, that marked the end of all the relatives on her side of the family. When I came out dancing in later on my mother and aunt (who now are both gone) asked me if I would accept my grandmothers family name to carry it on, I said yes. Her family name is Temakwe which translates to Beaver. She was of the Beaver family of people. At the request of my now deceased female relatives I use that name for my grandmothers' family.
