July 24, 2013 Photo of the day: "Nagawicka"

Eight years ago, we had our wedding reception here at Seven Seas on the shores of Lake Nagawicka. It's a beautiful venue, but I didn't know that there is also a French song about Nagawicka, until our French friends came to visit us a few summers ago. Julia, then 3 years old, who proudly refers to me as her "American Auntie", began singing the song with her papa each time that we passed the lake. How fun that there is a French song about a Native American (albeit a bit passé/non-pc) and a lake right here in Wisconsin!

Un petit Indien, un petit Indien

Nagawicka, Nagawicka

Chantait gaiement sur le chemin

Nagawicka, Nagawicka

Quand je serai grand, quand je serai grand

Nagawicka, Nagawicka

J'aurai un arc et un carquois

Nagawicka, Nagawicka

Avec mes flèches, avec mes flèches

Nagawicka, Nagawicka

Je chasserai le grand bison

Nagawicka, Nagawicka
