🔍Unseen Wednesday📜 ~ A weekly short History thread featuring lesser-known historical figures who have left their mark on our timeline ~ In the winter of 1714, a young Dene woman escaped out of a year of hunger and captivity onto the shore of Hudson Bay. She spoke Dënesųłiné, the language of her own nation. In the lodges of the Cree who had taken her she had learned their language, nêhiyawêwin, and at the wooden fort on the Hayes River she was already picking up English. Three tongues. The men inside that fort wanted furs from a part of the harsh country they could not reach, and her people wanted trade without being killed on the path to the trading post. Between those two wants she built a peace that neither side had managed on its own. In Dene oral tradition her name means marten shake. Her name was Thanadelthur. (Pronounced tha-nuh-DEL-thur)
