#Tyendinaga Mohawk

[allthecanadianpolitics]

Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory is now, officially, getting some land back.

At a ceremonial signing on Monday morning, Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Marc Miller agreed to hand over a 120-hectare plot of land to the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte (MBQ) band council, along with roughly $31 million in compensation.

The deal's formal conclusion settles part of a longstanding and at-times acrimonious land dispute about 200 kilometres east of Toronto, but it only covers about a third of the area under claim.

“Indians Count Moons To Set History Dates Long Before Columbus,” Toronto Globe. January 27, 1932. Page 11. ---- Perhaps the ‘dark ages’ were not always quite dark. At least, the Indians on this continent had their own manner of counting time.

We have long been told by the histories that the centuries of Indian occupation of this continent were uncounted, vague, and indefinite. For example, the date of the formation of the Iroquois Confederacy, in what is now New York State, was uncertain. This confederacy has sometimes been described as the first League of Nations. Additional interest attaches for Canadians because the Six Nations, as they later became known, moved over into Canada with the Loyalists after the American Revolution and have ever since been loyal citizens.

One of the tribes was the Mohawks, and a visitor to Toronto this week was one of the prominent women of this tribe, Mrs. H. A. Brant, of the Deseronto Reserve, herself a direct descendant of Joseph Brant, Chief of the Mohawks, for years before his death in 1807. Mrs. Brant, whose maiden name was Teresa Brant, and whose father, a great-grandson of Joseph Brant, still lives on the Deseronto Reserve, married R. A. Brant, who is not related to the original chieftain.

During her visit to this part of Ontario, for the first time in her life, Mrs. Brant was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. W. Nelson Campbell, 214 Glennir Avenue, Forest Hill. To a party of friends, she read  a paper which traced the history of the Mohawks, in some detail, with information derived from tribal tradition rather than printed books. One of her most interesting statements was that the Iroquois Confederacy was formed in 1390. As that year was more than a century before the discovery of America by Columbus, and long before clocks, almanacs, and other means of computing time were available on this continent, Mrs. Brant was asked to explain.

‘Oh, this came down to us through tradition. Our tribe counted time by the number of moons, and the year 1390 was reached through counting back the number of moons.’

A group of local historians heard the news with surprise and delight. Selwyn P. Griffin, author of ‘Open Secrets,’ in which Iroquois lore is presented, said:

‘I should say the date of the formation of the Confederacy was about 1450, but if Mrs. Brant says 1390, I would not contradict her. She should know more about it than we should, especially in view of the traditions in her tribe. It is unlikely that any one can settle this date, and she is as likely to be correct as any one.’

Mrs. Brant, who is deeply interested in Mohawk history, displays a keen poetic touch in her prose and verse. She is proud of the record of her race, and recollects the satisfation felt by the Deseronto Mohawaks over a great Mohawk of modern times, Dr. Oronhyatekha, who was married to Ellen Hill, a great-granddaughter of Joseph Brant.

noelle’s Love Song “Mars” has us In Love

Hot on the heels of her cross-country tour with Virginia to Vegas & Ria Mae, iHeartRadio’s Future Star noelle delivers self-proclaimed ‘sappy’ love song “Mars” just in time for Valentine’s Day. It’s “about finding your soul person,” she explains. “Someone that makes you want to be a better version of yourself. I hope everyone can relate to this feeling ‘cause it’s one of the best.” Raised on the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory in Ontario, in a family and community that surrounded her with music, noelle’s upbringing exposed her to a vast range of musical genres, from Nat King Cole and Sarah Vaughan, to the pow wow drum and native wind flute from her Indigenous roots. Expressing her thoughts and emotions at her piano, coupled with a reality she sought to transcend, noelle began writing her own music as a therapeutic form of self-expression. From casually posting cover songs on YouTube, she organically built a following of over 95K subscribers, and landed a deal with Wax Records at the age of 17.

"INDIAN FOR THE "PEN"," Kingston Daily Standard. October 15, 1913. Page 2. ---- He Will Make Third Red Man Now in Confinement. ---- Joseph Brant, aged 24 years, an Indian from the Tyendinaga Reserve, was on Tuesday sentenced by Magistrate Masson, at Belleville, to three years in the Portsmouth penitentiary, after conviction of theft after midnight of a purse containing $45 and two transportation tickets worth $50 from an Italian. The money was discovered in Brant's sock, and the tickets lie somewhere between Belleville and Trenton on the Grand Trunk right-of-way.

Brant and his cousin were coming home to Tyendinaga after spending the harvest season in Saskatchewan. They got on the train No. 8, and between Belleville and Trenton got into the car, where an Italian, Giachini Villani was. They sat in along with him. Villani was asleep. Brant says he was intoxicated. When he wakened up he found his purse, tickets and a bottle of liquor gone.

There are already two Indians doing time in the big penitentiary, and according to the authorities they are model prisoners when kept busy. They take their confinement with the natural stoicism of their race and give but little trouble, performing their alloted tasks with care seldom needing correction or discipline.

[Brant was 24, a boiler operator and coal heaver in the winters and a harvester during the fall season, had no previous record. He was convict #F-663 and worked in the coal and wood gang. He was never reported, and was paroled in late 1915.]

Adapt & survive that is the native way. ✨🌙 everyone keep the indigenous community in mind during all this. The pandemic is revealing the underlying issues natives have tolerate. Healthcare, poverty & racism are surfacing. Be an ally. Even after genocide, Native Americans are still able to use ART to hold on to their culture, creativity, and identity.
