Wantagh's Cat 07/14/2021
Animal BFF
Title: Wantagh's Cat
I hear on the beach the following whisperings
Asunal Oolihkmbuyal
Asunal Wiipongweewal
Wantagh Nzuksew
I made a graphite drawing, developed a poem based on that drawing, and then an ink and then colored the ink. I wanted to use the indigenous language of NYC which is Muscee, of the original inhabitants of NYC, where we get the words Manhattan, Wantagh, Montauk from.
I do not know Muscee and I can not confirm what I read is correct. But from what I comprehend of Muscee, I translated the following into Muscee
The Waters are Blue
The Rocks are Grey
Wantagh is Black
