  • Oronhyatekha, Baptized Peter Martin, Was a Mohawk, Born and Raised at Six Nations
    Oronhyatekha, baptized Peter Martin, was a Mohawk, born and raised at Six Nations. Among many accomplishments, awards, and citations, Oronhyatekha was one of the first of Native ancestry to receive a medical degree. He was also a Justice of the Peace, Consulting Physician at Tyendinaga (appointed by Sir John A. MacDonald), an Ambassador, Chief Ranger of the Independent Order of Foresters, and Chairman of the Grand Indian Council of Ontario and Quebec. But what was perhaps most remarkable about the man was not that he achieved success in the Victorian world, but that he did so with his Mohawk heritage intact. This slide show follows the remarkable life of Oronhyatekha, demonstrating how he successfully negotiated through two worlds, balancing Victorian Values to maintain his Mohawk Ideals. Born at Six Nations on August 10th, 1841, Oronhyatekha was baptized Peter Martin. From the time of his early child hood, he prefered his Mohawk name, which means Burning Sky. “There are thousands of Peter Martins,” he declared, “but there is only one Oronhyatekha.” Oronhyatekha’s character owed much to the influence of his grandfather, George Martin. As a Confederacy chief, George Martin was obliged to uphold the three principles most central to his position: Peace, Power and Righteousness, and raised Oronhyatekha to exemplify those high ideas in his life. Confederacy Chiefs, 1871. Albumen print photograph. Collection of the Woodland Cultural Centre, Brantford, Ontario. Although firmly grounded in the language, traditions and ideals of the Mohawk people, Oronhyatekha entered into the missionary- run school system on the reserve. He first attended the new day school at Martin’s Corners, and later, the Mohawk Institute.

  • A Historical Case–The Mohawk Institute
    The Canadian Experiment with Social Engineering, A Historical Case: The Mohawk Institute WENDY FLETCHER Education is always a hegemonic discourse. Through education, dominant culture in every society seeks not only to transmit a body of knowledge, but also values a “normative” hermeneutic. However, if all education is hegemonic discourse, residential schools have been uniquely so. Residential school education for Canada’s First Nations’s children was a whole child experiment. It undertook not only the intellectual, but also cultural, linguistic, spiritual and practical renovation of the indigenous child. This social engineering experiment, which was undertaken as a nation, was a failure. The horrific parameters of its failure might offer a new and critical eye with which to consider the underlying hegemonic discourse of all efforts that have been named as education. With this paper I invite a consideration of the paradox of failure which the residential school experiment represents, through a consider- ation of the development of what I am naming an “assimilationist monologue” (government policy) and its meaning. As one drawn to social history, I am inclined to make meaning through particulars. As such, after offering some comment on the movement by the Canadian government and some to an assimilationist praxis, I will offer some particulars drawn from a historical case study--the Mohawk Institute on the Six Nations Reserve near Brantford, Ontario. The paradoxical failure of the residential school experiment lies in the fact that its outcomes were the opposite of its intent. It was aimed at humanizing, at contributing to the building of a new Canadian democracy, but it ultimately dehumanized and undercut the very fabric of a democratic Historical Papers 2004: Canadian Society of Church History 134 The Mohawk Institute nation, which lies at least partly in the protection of human beings, of human rights.

  • The Loyalist Land Holdings in Brantford's Surrounding Areas" (With Surveyor Lewis Burrell's Map of 1833 - PART I)
    Selected Reprints from the Grand River Branch Newsletter, Branches "The Loyalist Land Holdings in Brantford's Surrounding Areas" (With Surveyor Lewis Burrell's Map of 1833 - PART I) Angela E.M. Files, February 1993, Vol.5 No.1, Pages 12-14 One of my favorite challenges is to study early maps of Upper Canada, or Canada West, and interpret the place names and persons identified on the maps. Late eighteenth and early nineteenth century maps of Upper Canada, often show the loyalist settlements along the St. Lawrence River, the Great Lakes and the Grand, Ottawa and Thames Rivers. The accompanying map shows the early loyalist land holdings of the area surrounding Brantford, in the 1830's. Surveyor Lewis Burwell, grandson of a loyalist, an early resident of Brantford, surveyed the region. He not only drew a map of the town plot of Brantford and its environs, but also had much to do with the division for settlement of land, either leased or sold by the Six Nations. Leaving a legacy of extensive correspondence with the Superintendent of the Six Nations, John Brant (1794 - 1832), Burwell recorded his place in the annals of local history. By August 13, 1839, Lewis Burwell completed a detailed survey of the area which showed the Brantford town plot having eight streets running east and west and thirteen streets intersecting north and south. On this map, there are fourteen place names, which have early historical significance. Starting on the left corner of the map, I shall attempt to explain some interesting facts about each demarcation. 1.

  • Race, Gender and Colonialism: Public Life Among the Six Nations of Grand River, 1899-1939
    Race, Gender and Colonialism: Public Life among the Six Nations of Grand River, 1899-1939 by Alison Elizabeth Norman A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Alison Norman 2010 Race, Gender and Colonialism: Public Life among the Six Nations of Grand River, 1899-1939 Alison Norman Doctor of Philosophy Department of Theory and Policy Studies Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2010 Abstract Six Nations women transformed and maintained power in the Grand River community in the early twentieth century. While no longer matrilineal or matrilocal, and while women no longer had effective political power neither as clan mothers, nor as voters or councillors in the post-1924 elective Council system, women did have authority in the community. During this period, women effected change through various methods that were both new and traditional for Six Nations women. Their work was also similar to non-Native women in Ontario. Education was key to women‘s authority at Grand River. Six Nations women became teachers in great numbers during this period, and had some control over the education of children in their community. Children were taught Anglo-Canadian gender roles; girls were educated to be mothers and homemakers, and boys to be farmers and breadwinners. Children were also taught to be loyal British subjects and to maintain the tradition of alliance with Britain that had been established between the Iroquois and the English in the seventeenth century.

  • Brant's Block, Wellington Square
    Brant’s Block, Wellington Square Prior to Euro-Canadian settlement on the site that became the City of Burlington, the lands of Halton County were inhabited by Anishnaabe (Ojibway) known as the Mississaugas. The Mississaugas’ traditional territory extended westerly and easterly from Burlington, encompassing what is now the City of Toronto. At that time, Burlington Bay was known by the Mississauga name, Macassa. Shortly after the arrival of Euro- Canadian settlers to the Township of Nelson, Burlington Bay was known as Lake Geneva. Home of Captain Brant at the Head of Lake Ontario (Walsh 1804) Source: Burlington Historical Society At the end of the Revolutionary War, many United Empire Loyalists were given land in the area in return for their loyalty to the Crown. Such was the case for Captain Joseph Brant, a prominent Mohawk and Loyalist, who was granted land in Halton County for his service. Brant selected his desired location at the Head of Lake Ontario. In total, 3,450 acres of land was granted to Brant following its purchase from the Mississaugas in 1795. This transaction is known as the Brant Tract Treaty, Number 3 ¾ (AANDC 2014). The Brant Tract, commonly referred to as Brant’s Block, was patented to Joseph Brant in February of 1798. At that time, the Block was bounded by the Township of Flamborough to the west and Lake Ontario to the south. The northern extent of Brant’s Block was just south of the northern boundary of the First Concession South of Dundas Street and the eastern boundary extended easterly into Lot 18.
