  • The Myth of Etienne Brule
    THE MYTH OF ETIENNE BRULE BY DONALD H. KENT' THE French interpreter and Indian agent Etienne Brul6 has been given a place in Pennsylvania history on very unsubstantial evi- dence, with a claim that he descended the Susquehanna River from its headwaters to the sea during the winter of 1615-1616. Sometimes he is even described as the first white man to tread the soil of Pennsylvania. Clement F. Heverly in his History and Geography of Bradford County wrote of "this event, 113 years after the discovery of America by Columbus" as "the first in the history of the state and county," and a recent Guide to Central Pennsylvania described Etienne Brule as "the first European to view the site of the future state capital." It expressed regret that he left no "description of central Pennsylvania as it was nine years after the first English set- tlers landed at Jamestown. ." I These local writers were in distinguished company. Similar, if less positive and less glowing, references to Brul6's descent of the Sus- quehanna were made by Francis Parkman, Justin Winsor, and Reuben Gold Thwaites.2 Under the patronage of the Western Reserve Historical Society, Consul Willshire Butterfield published a History of Brult's Discoveries and Explorations, 1610-1626, Being a Narrative of the Discovery by Stephen BruM, of Lakes Huron, Ontario, and Superior; and of His Explorations (the First Made by Civilized Man) of Pennsylvania and Western New York, also of the Province of Ontario, Canada.3 Howard M. Jenkins had the story in The substance of this article was part of a talk at the Friday luncheon of the an- nual meeting of the Pennsylvania Historical Association, October 10-11, 1975, when the author completed his term as its president.

Salmon, for the months of dedicated research, mapping, and analysis that led to the production of this important study. In all, more than 35 pro- fessionals, including professors and students representing six universities, American Indian representatives, consultants, public agency representatives, and community leaders contributed to this report. Each person brought an extraordinary depth of knowledge, keen insight and a personal devotion to the project. We are especially grateful for the generous financial support that we received from the following private foundations, organizations and corporate partners: The Morris & Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation, The Clay- ton Fund, Inc., Colcom Foundation, The Conservation Fund, Lockheed Martin, the Richard King Mellon Foundation, The Merrill Foundation, the Pennsylvania Environmental Council, the Rauch Foundation, The Peter Jay Sharp Foundation, Verizon, Virginia Environmental Endowment and the Wallace Genetic Foundation. Without their support this project would simply not have been possible. Finally, we would like to extend a special thank you to the board of directors of the Chesapeake Conser- vancy, and to John Maounis, Superintendent of the National Park Service Chesapeake Bay Office, for their leadership and unwavering commitment to the Captain John Smith Chesapeake Trail.

  • Stone Disks in Iroquoia
    Stone Disks in Iroquoia By William Engelbrecht, Kathleen Allen, Bill Fox, Jim Herbstritt, Joshua Kwoka, Wayne Lenig, and Martha Sempowski Abstract Iroquoian speakers played the hoop and pole game, but there are no historic descriptions of Iroquoians playing chunkey, a variant of hoop and pole in which a rolled stone disk is used instead of a hoop. Also, no distinctively shaped Cahokia style chunkey stones have been found on Iroquoian sites. This has led to the belief that chunkey was not played by Iroquoians. However, a symmetrical stone disk that rolled well across a carpeted surface was recovered from the Eaton site, a mid-sixteenth century Erie village. Other researchers provided examples of symmetrical stone disks from Neutral, Erie, Seneca, Cayuga, Mohawk, and Susquehannock sites. These specimens generally resemble the Bradley variant of chunkey stones from the Midwest. We argue that these Iroquoian stone disks were used to play chunkey. In addition to describing the physical characteristics of the specimens, we discuss possible symbolism and functions of the game among Iroquoians and likely reasons for its disappearance. Chunkey, and “Hoop and Pole” Chunkey is a game that involves rolling a stone disk known as a chunkey stone or discoidal along a flat surface. The name comes from the Choctaw, chungke (Adair 1775:401). It is a variant of 41 Iroquoia: The Journal of the Conference on Iroquois Research Volume 4 October 2018 Engelbrecht, Allen, Fox, Herbstritt, Kwoka, Lenig, Sempowski the hoop and pole game which was played throughout North America (Culin 1907:420-422). Both games could be played by two players or by teams.

  • The Lower Susquehanna Area
    Indigenous Cultural Landscapes Study for the Captain John Smith National Historic Trail: the Lower Susquehanna Area September 2015 Katherine M. Faull, Ph.D. -- Principal Investigator David Minderhout, Ph.D. -- Native American Ethno-Historical Consultant Kristal Jones, Ph.D. -- GIS Research Associate Brandn Green, Ph.D. -- Research Associate prepared under cooperative agreement with Bucknell University, Lewisburg, PA and The National Park Service Chesapeake Bay Annapolis, MD Revised Final November 2015 Executive Summary The area of the Lower Susquehanna River from Harrisburg, PA to the head of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland contains more than 50 identified sites of significance for Native American history and culture. These sites are part of a larger landscape of river, hills, plains, and waterways that are meaningful to the history and present-day lives of people who claim American Indian descent, especially from the Susquehannock Indians. This study, based on scholarly and oral traditions, argues that remnant peoples of Susquehannock descent were absorbed into the various nations of the Haudenosaunee and continue to have a vital interest in the interpretation and preservation of this stretch of the Susquehanna River. This report provides background and evidence for the inclusion of many of these locations within a high-probability indigenous cultural landscape boundary—a focus area provided to the National Park Service Chesapeake Bay and the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail Advisory Council for the purposes of future
