The Meskwaki people were warned to be aware of this group. Waniska nebwakaki those were the words the elders used to describe this group of people.
Waniska nebwakaki- means something along the lines of their intentions are no good. (hard to translate to English)
*Former and current tribal council
Amazing the information you can get just by talking to the Meskwaki elders. I suggest you bring frybread or a pie to thank them for their time.

Ahhm ... isn't "nebwakaki" related to how educated one is? And I think wasniska means "dirty?" Taking the 2 I think it means dirty educated peeps or teachers? :) hehe - I can be kinda humorous ... but I do agree with you kinda on that point. But I think it can be open to interpretation ... like one (educated peep) who teaches the wrong way? Or educated the wrong way? Or wrong teachings? As I say - open for interpretation depending who interprets it.
