fleetfootedfox 10 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hau. I am wondering if anybody knows if the word "Noon-way" comes from an actual Indian language or if it's something made up (like "Webelos"). It seems to originally come from Seton's Woodcraft Indians, but the word is used by 4-H, Y-Indians, and others. It is supposed to be an Indian word that means something like "amen", but I haven't been able to determine where it comes from. Thanks! WWW Link to post Share on other sites
fleetfootedfox 10 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 In case anybody is curious, I figured it out. It is from the Lakota nun-we, which means "May it be so, let it be so, Amen!" Link to post Share on other sites
