Really solid puzzle. My one quibble is OJIBWA which I’ve never seen before. Google tells me it’s a legit alternative to the far, far, farrrrr more common Ojibwe with an E, so I’ll allow it, but it seems like too much of a stretch just to make the cross work…

Undeniably clever, but I found it a bit tortured for the sake of the theme. Two particular quibbles, acknowledging up front that I could never, ever construct something as complex as this: 1) I mildly dislike the stranded Y, which I thought might connect the crosses on either side of it in some clever way but which is just a stranded Y; 2) I *strongly* dislike the use of ANDY DUFRESNE as both a full clue and in the circled letters, which just strikes me as a bit odd given how carefully thing thing was constructed.
