The word is: MAKASSEWA

The word was spelled to me so it is well written. The only thing I know about it is that it is part of someone's name, like grey-bear, sitting-bull, black-raven in example...

Please help me finding the meaning, it's very important for me.

Thanks in advance and love!
i would try john trudell. and if he can't he will know some1 who can. he woke up a long time ago (i saw it) and even if he's not, now, your inquiry might give him a nudge. he is one of our most extraordinary messengers. one of our greatest poets.

he's been workin the frontline for decades so i pray he's still well. amazing man, mr john trudell. peace and love to you

and peace and love to us all
