Iroquois is actually a language family, with six (I think) different subsets for the individiual nations that made up the iroquois League. So you'd need to know which of those it was.

I *think* - and this is just a vague, back of the head notion here - that there is a linguistic gender distinction in their languages, but that's the best i could say. Though now that my curiosity is aroused, i want to look into it.

What does it translate to?

I don't know what Gantt chart is, but anything that sounds like I'd need to scrape it off the side of a space-cruiser is, well, not encouraging.

It was my great-grandmother's name (she was part Iroquois), and supposedly it translates to "Morning star". However, never having been able to learn much about the Iroquois language(s), I have never been able to confirm that. Though I should like to, should I ever have the opportunity.

Hmm...never thought of using a Gantt chart. For my current WIP, I used a large white board timeline with post-it notes. I found it handy because I could move things around physically until I got them where I wanted them to be.

Let me look into it. Native American culture/history has always been a side interest for me, and I've got some sources lurking around. This is now mainly to satisfy my own curiosity as much as yours, of course, because I can't resist a puzzle.



Do you know which of the Six Nations she partially belonged to?

My brain would probably love the logical aspects of a Gantt chart. It's very logically driven. But seeing as I'm pantsing this novel, it might be more useful for editing later. Because come hell or high water I am finishing this damn novel this year.

I have each scene as it's own note card in Scrivener.

Seriously, though, I tried yWr1ter for a while, but have always reverted back to W0rd. A lot of people seem to like various tools, but I can't seem to get away from the simplicity of a blank sheet with just words.

I have each scene as it's own note card in Scrivener.
Aroo?! Note cards? Scrivner? <--INTERESTED. :O

I'm 1/8 Native American (no better generalized term to use), though that's as details as it gets. XD I know the name of one of my First Nation ancestors and I know which people are local to my area of the country, but that's about it. I've always had an interest in the Micmaq and Abnaki cultures and histories, too.

I wonder if sawdust and Skittles can be mixed into a hallucinogen? O_o

Seriously, though, I tried yWr1ter for a while, but have always reverted back to W0rd. A lot of people seem to like various tools, but I can't seem to get away from the simplicity of a blank sheet with just words.
*sob* no one wants to use my method! It actually makes project management software fun...
