Around 1680 in the wilderness area west of Albany, New York, an English settler is cutting down trees to build a cabin. A Mahican hunter approaches him.

Mahican: "Gagwuy g'deniwisi?"

Colonist: "I fear I do not speak thy tongue, dost thou speak English?"

Mahican: "Muxq n'deniwisi. Mòhiguniweg nom."

Colonist: "I have no idea what thou tellest me." (He goes away to learn Mahican).
