In the story of the Iroquois Confederacy, the Peacemaker encountered Hiawatha in the forest, where Hiawatha was grieving the loss of his family due to violence. The Peacemaker, a spiritual figure and messenger of peace, helped Hiawatha heal his sorrow and inspired him to embrace the vision of unity among the Iroquois nations. Through their conversations, the Peacemaker encouraged Hiawatha to join him in spreading the message of peace and cooperation, ultimately leading to the formation of the Iroquois Confederacy. Their meeting marked a crucial turning point in the quest for harmony among the tribes.

The Finzer Brothers Clay Company and brick factory was started in 1910 by five of the seven Finzer brothers--the grandsons of Swiss immigrants who came to Sugar Creek, Ohio in the 1850's (I believe 1857). They teamed up to begin a business that they could never have known would still be running one hundred years later almost exactly as it was when it was built. In the beginning, all labor was completely manual (being the 1910's and 20's), including the loading and moving of the bricks in and out of kilns, and it remains so today, save for a few electrical wirings and carting systems that weren't around back when it was first started. The company was bought by Belden Brick in 1946, but the "Finzer Bros" double chimneys still stand and are used. Many of the kilns are original to the plant, as well as several buildings and bricks around the railroad running through Sugar Creek (one can still find some stamped with "Finzer Bros Clay Co" beside the tracks). This plant (#4, I believe) is the only one left out of five in Sugar Creek to be almost completely original and make bricks by hand, as opposed to being mass-produced in tunnel kilns.

Hope this helped! This plant means a lot to me--has a place in my family history--and I hope this answers your question well enough!

Red Cloud declared war against the U.S. over the establishments of army posts along the Bozeman Trail, thru lands ceded to the Sioux thru prior treaty. In Particular, he was outraged by the U.S. sending a delegation to renegotiate that treaty to allow the forts, after the Forts were already under construction... Implying that the Sioux really had no option to refuse. Red Cloud ultimately forced the army to withdraw from the disputed Forts, making Red Cloud's war the only war against the US ever won by native peoples.

Yes

The Yamassee Indians lived historically on the Entire South Eastern part of the United States as called today.

But after the wars, they say, a lot of them stayed in Beaufort county, SC still, as congressional records also show.

And the rest moved to Northern Florida, staying in places like Yemassee, Florida now known as Jackson County, Fl, Monticello Florida where the largest Mounds can be found (Letchworth Mounds), currently in Florida, St. Augustine, Fl down to Live Oak, Tampa, and Miami by the name of the Tocobaga, Hitchiti, Mikisuki, and Yamacraw in Middle Georgia.

Yep...from the 1950's till the 1970's he lived next to Washington Cemetary in a small house just off Bay Parkway near East 4th street in the Bensonhurst/Gravesend section of Brooklyn. His late-50's Cadillac was often parked in his driveway and proud symbols of his Native American pride were displayed in his house window. Native Americans were celebrities in New York and had often been treated well there compared to the treatment received in other areas of the country

No they come from Europe and before that they came from near middle east where all people originated from. They came here & killed the Native people-- men, women & children. The Native people welcomed them & when the white people asked to buy the land the Native people refused to sell the land saying, " .....there is enough for all of us to live on it, The Great Creator made this land for all of us. How can you buy land? Its like asking to buy the water we drink or the air we breath....these things are not for sale, its here for all of us, to share. Its a gift from the The Great Creator & it's not for us, (as people) to make profit from, because it's a gift. The white people thought the Native People were weak and child like, because they were so kind and un-wicked, they thought the Native People were naive, because they didn't want to profit from such a grand & profitable property. The Natives were generous, forgiving & lovable & the white people were the opposite & they did away with most of the Natives...that is why people rarely ever see Native around. To answer your question; No! the white people native to America? NO!

The Ojibwe/Ojibwa/Chippewa call white Americans gichi-mookomaan, meaning "big knives". This refers to the swords carried by early American military forces and the Blackfoot term for white Americans has a similar meaning.

Dr. John Thorp, a cultural anthropologist at the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Mich., said a song sung by blacks in the early 19th century poked fun at Jim Crow, a slave master, and a law that said blacks couldn't dance by shuffling their feet. In the 1820s it appeared in sheet music written by Thomas Dartmouth "Daddy" Rice, a white actor and musician who did short skits between play scenes at the Park Theater in New York City. Some accounts say Rice heard a black man singing the Jim Crow song on the street and decided to use that image as a stage character in his act. Rice depicted blacks as lazy, singing and dancing fools in his act. His stage show was a hit, and Jim Crow became a stock character in other minstrel shows. The term "Jim Crow Law" was first used n 1841 in reference to a Massachusetts law which required railroads to provide a separate car for Negro passengers.

England, Ireland, and Wales. Means "son of Hob".

The Mohawk peoples inhabited what now is New York State. They a warlike tribe destroying everything in their path. When they got close to another tribe they attacked. But Dekawinda the great peacemaker was against war. He was so angry at his peoples his requested he leaves. So he journeyed to the west to ignore all the fighting. He stopped to rest at one of the great lakes. When he started again he met a canoeist. The canoeist happened to be Hiawatha a legend to come.Dekawinda was asking what the wampum shells were for. Hiawatha said the are the rules of life and good. The white shells signify truth, peace, and good will, he explained, while the black shells stand for hatred, war, and an evil heart. Hiawatha went on to explain that the string in which black shells alternate with white indicates that peace should exist between tribes, while the string with white on the end and black in the middle means that wars must end and peace should be declared. Dekanawida asked Hiawatha to return with him to his Mohawk village, and the two traveled east. After reaching his village, Dekanawida called a tribal council to listen to Hiawatha. The Mohawks were impressed with Hiawatha's philosophy and readily agreed to live by them. Dekanawida and Hiawatha next traveled to the neighboring Oneida and Cayuga tribes, and they too agreed to be bound by Hiawatha's guiding rules. Finally the two men journeyed to the Onondaga and confronted Chief Tadadaho. Upon learning that three of the Iroquois nations had already agreed to abide by Hiawatha's philosophy Tadadaho fled into the woods. Although the evil spirits possessing Tadadaho hung from his head as serpents, Dekanawida and Hiawatha bravely followed. Hiawatha assured Tadadaho he would be allowed to be the head chief of the Iroquois Confederacy if he promised to govern in accord with their philosophy of peace, at which Tadadaho relented and joined the confederacy. Dekanawida and Hiawatha also visited the Seneca and other tribes to the west, but only the Seneca agreed to join the Iroquois Confederacy Unfortunately, the Confederacy did not bring peace to the Iroquois and their neighbors. The Algonquian and other hostile tribes to the south, after being repeatedly repulsed and then attacked by the five united Iroquois nations, were eventually forced to ally themselves with European colonists. The Confederacy meanwhile sought to bring other tribes within its structure

CORRECTION: Hiawatha is a culture hero figure whose story has reached mythical proportions. Iroquois Indian tradition makes Hiawatha a historical sage who was instrumental in bringing about the confederation of the five Iroquois tribes known as 'the five nations'. Recent archeological find now dates the confederacy to August 19, 909 A D, as related to a total eclipse of the sun on that date, which was instrumental in converting the Seneca to accept the Great Laws. This is only the most recent excavation, and future ones may be able to prove even an earlier date as many faithkeepers believe the Confederacy to be ancient.

The Confederacy, at its height, had as many as 70 nations who joined, making it the first United Nations. It created a lasting peace until the Boat People of Europe brought their ways of war, dissention, lies and deception which cause them to break the Sacred Hoop and fight against one another. The Delaware, Cherokee, and many nations who were once part of this confederacy are structured under the same guidance of the Peacemaker.

Heyenwatha, a Mohawk Chief, did join with Dekaniwida who was born in the Northern country, in the Wendot settlement of Takahaanaye on the north shore of Lake Ontario at a settlement of the Bay of Quinte. It said there was Kahelo?klha? (End of Field), a destitute woman living alone with her virgin daughter Kahetehsuk (She walks ahead) who was his mother. There was no apparent father, except a dream that Creator gave to the Grandmother End of Field, that the child was to bring Peace to the Earth. This makes the Peacemaker a Huron not a Mohawk as the above paragraph states.

The epic story also tells of a woman, a yagowaneh, Jikohnsaseh, The Great Peace Woman, a Huron also, from the Antiwandaronks, a chieftess of her people, who was sought out by the Peacemaker and asked to join with the men in the quest for Peace, and was the resource for establishing the balance of genders within the confederacies governing hierarchies, earning her the name of Mother of Nations. The Iroquois Great Law gauranteed to women, respect, and dominion over issues such as children, home, economics, and war as well as voting. It took the United States of American an additional 150 years to grant even a portion of these rights to American women after the establishment of their democratic republic.

Hiawatha was also the hero of Longfellow's poem by that name. In it he was an Algonquin chief.

"Weenat Shassit tribe number 6, IORM" refers to an extremely odd organisation made up entirely of white Americans - the IORM stands for "Improved Order of Red Men."

These strange people traced their ancestry to those who took part in the Boston Tea Party (dressed unconvincingly as natives) and were part of the American version of the Freemasons. They "emulated" the regalia and other elements of Iroquois culture - at least they convinced themselves that is what they were doing. Any resemblance between these people and real Senecas, Onondagas or Cayugas was strictly accidental.

They limited membership to "free white men of good moral character and standing, aged at least 21 great suns . . ."

A boy, and a member of the Ojibwa.
