It would help if you got even a vague idea about which tribe.
There were around 500 different languages at the time Columbus arrived and many within the same area were more different than Chinese and Italian (or Greek and Estonian).
If it's from Ho-chungra, Menomonee,
Fox , Snake, Oneida or Lac de Flambeau, I might be able to help, otherwise, I can't ask any of the professors I know about the question. Sorry.
