| Introduction | I am of Haudenosaunee descent. (Mohawk) Six Nations Iroquois. My direct lineage includes Chiefs such as Thayendenaga, Chief Joseph Brant, the ancestors before him and the descendants after him. Although a lot of our peoples have negative things to say about who he was and what he was trying to achieve for our people, there are those that understood his dilemma. I understood this from a young age, and one of his famous quotes is notable for...." Have pity on the poor Indians; if you can get any influence with the great, endeavor to do them all the good you can." I have and always will until my dying breath do everything in my power to do just that, and use my educations and life experiences and wisdom to help make the Red Nations Peoples whole and strong again. Unity of all Native Nations is a necessary and needed goal, and I see it happening more and more each day. All of our ancestors, no matter which Nation would be proud of the ones who strive to achieve this. I believe in the Prophecy of the Seventh Generation, and I believe and breath and live for All Native Nations of America and Canada. |
