Oa 77-78 Layout Part 07 62 Ontario Archaeology No. 77/78, 2004 Recreating Home? A Consideration of Refugees, Microstyles and Frilled Pottery in Huronia Alicia L. Hawkins This paper revisits explanations for the presence of large quantities of frilled pottery at certain seventeenth century Wendat sites. It considers the ways in which the traditional Wenro refugee explanations are prob- lematic. An analysis of decorative microstyles is outlined, with the goal of determining whether pots from BeGx-25 (identified in the literature as Ossossané village), both with and without frills, were decorated by the same potters. The relationship between forced migration and material culture is examined and a sec- ond explanation for the presence of frilled pottery is offered. The results of this analysis are considered in light of what is known of how contemporary refugees manipulate material culture. Introduction (Trigger 2001).

The Iroquois tried to remain neutral in this war because it was between those two nations and did not concern them. As time went on and the battles came closer and closer to their villages, it became very difficult to remain neutral and still protect their homes and their people.

  • 1 “WE ARE the CAYUGA NATION of NEW YORK” Recent Reporting Concerning the Cayuga Nation Has Often Fallen Into Inaccuracies
    “WE ARE THE CAYUGA NATION OF NEW YORK” Recent reporting concerning the Cayuga Nation has often fallen into inaccuracies. While the Nation cannot respond individually to every error, one persistent inaccuracy concerns the groups that have fomented strife within the Cayuga Nation. One of those groups is known as the “Unity Council” or the “Jacobs Council,” along with its few supporters. The Unity Council has long claimed to be the Nation’s leadership—but for just as long, the Cayuga people have rejected their claims. In a traditional “Statement of Support” campaign, a broad cross-section of Cayuga citizens memorialized their views that the Unity Council is not the Nation’s lawful government and that the Unity Council’s interpretations of Cayuga law are incorrect. Instead, the Cayuga people identified as the Nation’s government a Nation Council composed of Clint Halftown, Timothy Twoguns, Gary Wheeler, Donald Jimerson, and Michael Barringer. Sometimes, that Council has been identified as the “Halftown Council.” Subsequently, the Department of the Interior reviewed the Nation’s Statement of Support process and, based on it, recognized this Council as the Nation’s government for all purposes. A federal court upheld that decision, rejecting the Unity Council’s challenge. It was the Unity Council that was responsible for the theft of the Seneca County properties that the Nation recently regained. The second group that has created unrest is not part of the Nation at all. We are the Cayuga Nation of New York, referred to as such because our reservation is within the territorial boundaries of New York State, and the citizens of our Nation reside in the United States.
