Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 33844893 United States 02/07/2013 01:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was adopted at birth and grew up never knowing my heritage or nationality, I recently met my Biological mother for the first time and that is when I learned I am actually half Iroquois/Seneca Native American, So I have been doing a little research into The Iroquois Tribe and I thought I would share some of what I have found. The Iroquois The Iroquois, or Six Nations, stand first among the native races of this continent for valor, policy, and eloquence. Their home was in western and central New York, and their geographical situation, on a broad summit of fertile table-land, favorable for raising maize and abounding in game, gave them great advantages. The leading rivers of this region, running in all directions, and enabling then to descend rapidly into an enemy's country, contributed largely to the success of their warlike expeditions. Their attachment to the English alone saved Western New York from becoming a French colony. They had attained their highest point about the year 1700. At that period, besides carrying terror by their war parties to the walls of Quebec, they had, by virtue of their combination, subdued and held in subjection, one after another, all the principal Indian nations occupying the territory now embraced in the States of New York, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, and parts of Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Northern Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New England, and Upper Canada. If any of these nations became involved in domestic differences, a delegation of chiefs went among them and restored tranquillity, prescribing at the same time their future conduct. In New England and Canada the Iroquois were the dread of the native Algonkin tribes. When, in the early days of the Massachusetts colony, they made war on the New England Indians, it was said that as soon as a single one of them was seen in their country, these Indians raised the cry from hill to hill, "A Mohawk a Mohawk!" upon which they all fled, like sheep before wolves, without attempting to make the least resistance. Independence and love of liberty was one of the most marked characteristics of the Iroquois. Their pride was so great that they called themselves Ongwe Hongwe, "the men surpassing all others," and yet in their most prosperous days they could hardly muster four thousand warriors. Their losses in battle were made up by their custom of adopting a part of their captives as members of their tribe. Originally the confederacy consisted of five tribes or nations: Mohawks, Onondagas, Cayugas, Oneidas, and Senecas. |

If you want a fight without having to scalp anyone here's one for you. One of my friends here is Maori and married to a Canadian Native woman and her daughter is over here at the moment. We've been talking about the atrocities against her people-the murder of school children at the schools run by the Catholic church there and everything else that has happened. Her mom is a member of Idle No More and very active in rehabilitation from alcohol and drugs with the survivors. The latest attack is Bill C-45 "Idle No More continues with First Nations, environmental groups, social activist groups, and concerned Canadians protesting the contentious Bill C-45 that will severely compromise the environmental protection of of our lakes, rivers, and streams in Canada.

So how about putting that peaceful warrior heritage to work here? |

I checked out the avaaz site where you can start a petition, there was one on this subject but only about three people had voted. The key to this new paradigm is shifting human consciousness by collective and individual intent to break the stranglehold of the bastards in charge. Every little bit helps. So....? |

Many sadly never get to know the stories of their ancestors and sadly suffer identity crisis. Good luck to you OP Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33835859 A lovely spirit you are I am of indigenous heritage, we know nothing of my great-grandmothers people, she was basically a slave wife and beaten by my white great-grandfather into an early grave. She was forbidden to share her culture with her children. All we have is a photo showing a full Aboriginal woman. Her birth certificate does not even have her parents names but has a big red stamp ILLEGITIMATE on it. |
