Episode 18: Joe English's Leap

This week's episode is all about the cunning of the Pennacook Merruwacomet and how he outsmarted an Indigenous hunting party hot on his trail. While a story by Europeans rather than Indigenous, it is still a great story of the early 1000-point IQ of Native Americans.This story is taken from the book Tales of the Penacooks (misspelling in the title) by G. Waldo Browne edited by Edward Lodi.Learn to Speak Pennacook:Merruwacomet - mehr.rew.wah.coh.meht - Indigenous name of Joe EnglishPascataquog - pahs.cah.tah.kqawg - Great Place for Deer
