WAMPANOAG Transaltion request

I posted this request to the Native Languages list but have received no
responses, so I thought I'd try here as well-- I work at the Congressional
Research Service, and I have a Member of Congress who would like two
phrases (names, actually) translated into the Wampanoag dialect of
Algonquian. We don't have any Algonquian linguistic expertise here at the
Library of Congress, so I'm wondering if anyone out there on the net is
fluent in Wampanoag. The two names may be historical, so a knowledge of
Wampanoag history or geneology might help us out as well. I know how to
contact the Wampanoag Tribal Council in Gay Head and organizations such as
the Massachusetts Center for Native American Awareness, so I don't need
those addresses.

Thanks for reading
