AMERICANREVOLUTION.ORG Indians and the American Revolution By Wilcomb E. Washburn The late Wilcomb E. Washburn was one of America's most versatile and accomplished historians, receiving his Ph.D. (American Civilization) from Harvard University in 1955. This is the annotated text of a presentation he made here in Riverside, CA during the time he was Director of American Studies at the Smithsonian Institution. The author of more than sixty books and articles, he was noted for his expertise concerning the history of Virginia and the American Indian. Works include The Indian in America (1975) and The Assault on Indian Tribalism: The General Allotment Law (Dawes Act) of 1887 The role of the American Indian during the American Revolution was a shadowy and tragic one, symbolized by Benjamin West's painting, now in the National Gallery of Art, of Colonel Guy Johnson, the British superintendent of Indian affairs in the North, and Joseph Brant , the great Mohawk warrior. It was a shadowy role, but an important one. It was shadowy not only because the Indian operated physically from the interior forests of North America and made his presence felt suddenly and violently on the seaboard settlements, but because the Indian was present also in the subconscious mind of the colonists as a central ingredient in the conflict with the Mother Country. After a century and a half of exploration and settlement, the English colonists, in 1763, were finally masters of the coastal areas of North America. With rapidly growing populations they now turned inward away from the sea to a larger destiny.

back to many worlds rat haus Index Search ... tree The Six Nations: Oldest Living Participatory Democracy on Earth The Tree of Peace by John Kahionhes Fadden The people of the Six Nations, also known by the French term, Iroquois Confederacy, call themselves the Hau de no sau nee (ho dee noe sho nee) meaning People Building a Long House. Located in the northeastern region of North America, originally the Six Nations was five and included the Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas, and Senecas. The sixth nation, the Tuscaroras, migrated into Iroquois country in the early eighteenth century. Together these peoples comprise the oldest living participatory democracy on earth. Their story, and governance truly based on the consent of the governed, contains a great deal of life-promoting intelligence for those of us not familiar with this area of American history. The original United States representative democracy, fashioned by such central authors as Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, drew much inspiration from this confederacy of nations. In our present day, we can benefit immensely, in our quest to establish anew a government truly dedicated to all life's liberty and happiness much as has been practiced by the Six Nations for over 800 hundred years.

The Iroquois/Hadenosaunee -"People of the Longhouse" by Maggie "RedBear" Sypniewski The word "Iroquois" cames from the Algonquian word "Iriakoiw," which means "red adders." This most likely is how the Algonquians saw the Iroquois, since they often were their enemy. The French made it into "Iroquois", but we call ourselves "Hodenosaunee" or "People of the Longhouses." Longhouse photo taken by Maggie Sypniewski in London, Ontario, Canada. Legend tells us that the Hodenosaunee first lived in the West, on the great plains near the Missisippi River. They lived near the Pawnee (Wolf Nation) who were their friends and allies. The Iroquois migrated towards the rising sun and eventually settled in what is now New York State. They were a hunting, fishing, and agricultural people. After the formation of the League (1570), the villages were enclosed by single or double rows of palisades to protect them from raiding tribes. Often there was a maze to keep raiders from paying surprise visits. Going the wrong way could trap the enemy. The longhouse ( gononh'sees ) was the typical dwelling of the Iroquois. They were designed to house five, ten, or twenty families. The average longhouse was 60 feet in length, 18 feet wide, and 18 feet high. The longhouse had no windows. Light came from the high, wide doors at each end, and from above. The ceiling had holes to allow the fireplace smoke to escape.

The tribes were situated in that picturesque and fruitful region which stretches westward from the head-waters of the Hudson to the Genesee. The Mohawks, or Caniengasas they should properly be calledpossessed the Mohawk River, and covered Lake George and Lake Champlain with their flotillas of large canoes, managed with the boldness and skill which, hereditary in their descendants, make them still the best boatmen of the North American rivers. West of the Caniengas the Oneidas held the small river and lake which bear their name, the first in that series of beautiful lakes, united by interlacing streams, which seemed to prefigure in the features of nature the political constitution of the tribes who possessed them.

- Browse By : - LETTER TOPIC BY KEYWORD: The Iroquois Indians originally lived near Lake Ontario. Circa 1600, five Iroquois tribes, the Mohawks, the Oneidas, the Onondagas, the Cayugas, and the Senecas , banded together to form a confederacy. A sixth tribe joined the confederacy-the Tuscaroras-in 1722. There were other tribes who spoke a form of the Iroquois language, but who were not part of the Iroquois Confederacy. For example, the Erie Indians were related to the Iroquois. They lived along the eastern shores of Lake Erie in New York and Pennsylvania. The Iroquois Confederacy considered them enemies and wiped out the entire tribe. By 1650, the Iroquois began to push their way into the rich Ohio Country beyond the lands of the Eries. They conquered and drove out the various tribes of the Algonquian Indians living in the area. The resulting wars were known as the Beaver Wars because the Iroquois wanted more land for hunting and trapping beaver and deer. The Iroquois participated in the fur trade with first the Dutch and then the English. Unlike most other tribes east of the Mississippi River, the Iroquois, as a whole, did not favor the French over the English. A small group of Mohawks and Onondagas would convert to Catholicism and aid the French, but most Iroquois natives assisted the English against the French. During the American Revolution , these natives assisted the British against the American colonists.

- Browse By : - LETTER TOPIC BY KEYWORD: The Longhouse The log, pole and bark houses The Tepee The tepee was generally used as a temporary shelter in a hunting camp. This cone-shaped tent covered with mats or bark had a framework of long poles set upright in a circle, leaning together at the top. Mats were made of cattails or "flags" stitched together in sections about five by fifteen feet. These light-weight mats were easy to transport when rolled up. Wigwam The wigwam was a circular, or oval, dome-shaped structure, housing one or two families. The butt-ends of the pole or sapling frame were imbedded in the earth; the tapered ends were bent down and tied in place with bark strips. Over this frame was fastened a covering of bark or mats, sometimes a combination of both. Mats were made of cattails or common marsh "flags" as they were called. In the center of the domed roof was a smoke hole; a section of bark on a long pole resting against the side of the wigwam could be adjusted to keep the wind from blowing the campfire smoke back inside.
