bnnuy................actually, a wild cottontail rabbit of some kind, eating grass >:3
I'm not sure if it's the rare native species ("new england" rabbit) or the invasive one (eastern rabbit) - the ears seem too big for the former? To the best of my knowledge, names for either/both from some East Coast Native Peoples of Turtle Island include: wôtuqâhs (Wampanoag/Wôpanâak), waboz/môhtukquás/wuhtokquas (Algonquin), waūtuckques (Narragansett), tupsaás/waútukques (Nipmuc), and waabooz (Ojibwe). Help with species identification and names is greatly welcome!
[ID: A wild cottontail rabbit with brindled grey and brown fur grazes on blades of grass in the cover of a bush's shadow. You can see its ears twitching and mouth chewing as it bites off new pieces.]
ALSO: The Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project teaches kids from their tribes’ communities, and accepts donations (including a mail-in recycling ink cartridge program). The Nipmuc Language website offers free monthly classes (including an online one) to members of their tribal community, and has a bunch of resources. And the Mamawotagoziwn Committee for the Preservation of the Algonquin language takes donations, while Anishnabe-Algonquin tribal members can join the private Anishnabe Odinewin - Language & Land based Project FB group!
