Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 1, sentence 119

And I venture to say from the deepest conviction that it will be no small occasion of astonishment and chagrin, a hundred years hence, when the last Algonkin Indian of the _Wabano_ shall have passed away, that so few among our literary or cultured folk cared enough to collect this connected aboriginal literature.

Who acts: I, assertion, last Algonkin, few, this · What happens: venture, say, be, pass away, culture, care · To what, where: deepest conviction, small occasion, Wabano · Speech: someone speaks here
