Narraticong 15 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Please listen carefully to the words of "Louie, Louie" by the Kingsmen. The proper pronunciation of the admonition is found in the third verse. Clear as day. By the way, how many native Lenape speakers are around? In all the years I lived in New Jersey, I can not think of having heard of any. Ken Link to post Share on other sites

eghiglie 10 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I too worried about this, but when our Lodge had training for Brotherhood they covered it all. At my ordeal a few words were whispered in my right ear, which has lost some hearing range. Link to post Share on other sites

They're still very much culturally intact in Oklahoma. Matter of fact, he even taught me some inappropriate Lenape words that could not be used for vigil names or in Scouting conversations!
