These Indians, he reported, were Senecas, Onondagas, and others of the Five Iroquois villages. At their urgent request, Celoron permitted some residents of Detroit to carry goods thither, and had recently sent Sicur Navarre to the post, to make a report thereupon. Navarre's account was trans­ nUtted to Quebec with this letter. Celoron's letter has been printed in the New York Colonial Doc1tments, but the accompanying report of Sieur Navarre has not heretofore been published.

  • Wendat Archaeological Heritage: Challenging the Professionals [Slide 1]
    Huron-Wendat Archaeological Heritage: Challenging the Professionals [Slide 1] Alicia L. Hawkins, Laurentian University Louis Lesage, Huron-Wendat Nation Introduction Kwe - we would like to begin by recognizing that we are welcomed on present-day Mohawk territory. This location is a strategic place that has been traditionally used by many First Nations including the Haudenosaunee, the Huron-Wendat, and the "St. Lawrence Iroquoians" whose definition and relationship with the Huron-Wendat will be discussed more in this paper. When asked if we would participate in this session, we believed it was because the organizers hoped we would be able to speak about a collaborative archaeological project involving academic researchers and the Huron-Wendat Nation, particularly with respect to Ontario archaeology. In the last decade, a great deal of progress has been made towards collaboration, but at this time we would consider most, if not all, Ontario archaeological research projects to be consultative rather than collaborative. By this, we mean that the Huron-Wendat Nation has been informed of projects, often at the outset, and asked to provide feedback; and in some cases changes may have been made. However, the people conducting the research and the research questions originate outside of the Huron-Wendat Nation and are not necessarily of specific interest to the Huron-Wendat.1 [Slide 2]An exception to this, and one that suggests a way forward, is a jointly organized conference held last year to mark the 400th anniversary of Samuel de Champlain’s sojourn in Ontario. Given that Champlain spent most of his time in Huronia, with Huron-Wendat people, it was essential that the Huron-Wendat past was a focus of this conference.

    Sinnontouan, or Seneca Land, in the Revolution. 201 SINNONTOUAN, OR SENECA LAND, IN THE REVOLUTION. BY RUFUS B. STONE. Under the dome of the Court House at Smethport, through whose windows we look out upon the habita- tions of the twentieth century and beyond to the familiar hills traced by rivulets trickling to creek and river, shall we not now and again be admonished, lest we forget, that other, if not older, races than ours, to whom the hills were citadels and the streams were highways, once fought for supremacy here; and that finally an ancient people was driven out by the fierce invader, never to return, leaving behind only its name on the mountains and on the winding river which courses among them, and a few silent mounds and graves which when opened have told in the broken language of metal and symbol the story of a lost and superior race? "Ye say that all have passed away, The noble race and brave, That their light canoes have vanished From off the crested wave: "That 'mid the forests where they roamed, There rings no hunter's shout, But their name is on your waters, Ye may not wash it out." "Lo! how all things fade and perish! From the memory of the old men Pass away the great traditions, The achievements of the warriors, The adventures of the hunters, All the wisdom— All the craft— All the marvelous dreams and visions Of the Jossakeeds, the Prophets." 202 Sinnontouan, or Seneca Land, in the Revolution.

  • Native Americans, Europeans, and the Raid on Pickawillany
    ABSTRACT “THE LAND BELONGS TO NEITHER ONE”: NATIVE AMERICANS, EUROPEANS, AND THE RAID ON PICKAWILLANY In 1752, the Miami settlement at Pickawillany was attacked by a force of Ottawa and Chippewa warriors under the command of a métis soldier from Canada. This raid, and the events that precipitated it, is ideally suited to act as a case study of the role of Native American peoples in the Ohio Country during the first half of the eighteenth century. Natives negotiated their roles and borders with their British and French neighbors, and chose alliances with the European power that offered the greatest advantage. Europeans were alternately leaders, partners, conquerors and traders with the Natives, and exercised varying levels and types of control over the Ohio Country. Throughout the period, each of the three groups engaged in a struggle to define their roles in regards to each other, and to define the borders between them. Pickawillany offers insights into this negotiation. It demonstrates how Natives were not passive victims, but active, vital agents who acted in their own interest. The events of the raid feature a number of individuals who were cultural brokers, intermediaries between the groups who played a central, but tenuous, role in negotiations. It also exhibits the power of ritual violence, a discourse of torture and maiming that communicated meanings to friends and rivals alike, and whose implications shaped the history of the period and perceptions of Natives.

Some ethnologists believe the Shawnee descended from the Fort Ancient people. The Shawnees were wanderers, who lived in many places in the south. They became associated closely with the Delaware in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Able fighters, the Shawnees stubbornly resisted white pressures until the Treaty of Greene Ville in 1795. At the time of the arrival of the European explorers on the shores of the North American continent, the American Indians were living in a network of highly developed cultures. Each group lived in similar housing, wore similar clothing, ate similar food, and enjoyed similar tribal life. In the geographical northeastern part of North America, the principal American Indian tribes were: Abittibi, Abenaki, Algonquin, Beothuk, Cayuga, Chippewa, Delaware, Eastern Cree, Erie, Forest Potawatomi, Huron, Iroquois, Illinois, Kickapoo, Mohicans, Maliseet, Massachusetts, Menominee, Miami, Micmac, Mississauga, Mohawk, Montagnais, Munsee, Muskekowug, Nanticoke, Narragansett, Naskapi, Neutral, Nipissing, Ojibwa, Oneida, Onondaga, Ottawa, Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Peoria, Pequot, Piankashaw, Prairie Potawatomi, Sauk-Fox, Seneca, Susquehanna, Swamp-Cree, Tuscarora, Winnebago, and Wyandot.
