Seneca Indian Nation
The Subject Matters host Joe Condon talks with Kevin Nephew -- Member of the Seneca Nation about the topic of Native Americans. Nephew discusses the term Native Americans, stereotypes, historical facts and the Two Row Wampum Treaty. The Two Row Wampum Renewal Campaign, a partnership between the Onondaga Nation and Neighbors of the Onondaga Nation (NOON), is developing a broad alliance between the Haudenosaunee and their allies in New York and throughout the world. Our statewide advocacy and educational campaign seeks to achieve justice by polishing the chain of friendship established in the first treaty between the Haudenosaunee and Dutch immigrants. Environmental cleanup and preservation are the core components of our campaign.With a proud and rich history, the Seneca were the largest of six Native American nations which comprised the Iroquois Confederacy or Six Nations, a democratic government that pre-dates the United States Constitution. The Seneca Nation of Indians currently has a total enrolled population of nearly 8,000 citizens. The territories are generally rural, with several residential areas. Many Seneca citizens live off-territory, some are located across the country, as well as in other countries. Also, guest discussed the use of mascot Indian names and the operation of casinos.
Ki-on-twog-ky by F. Bartoli (Seneca Chief Cornplanter) (408) | New-York Historical Society
This is a portrait of Chief Ki-On-Twog-Ky, a proud leader of the Seneca tribe. Ki-On-Twog-Ky means Cornplanter. He was born in western New York State, the son of a Seneca mother and a European fur trader. In 1796 a European artist named Bartoli painted this portrait. The chief is showing off what hes wearing, and there's a story behind why. Ki-On-Twog-Ky was a mighty warrior. In the 1750s he led his tribe into battle against the French. Then during the American Revolution he fought with the British against the colonists. After the Revolution Ki-On-Twog-Ky wanted to live in peace. But he worried about the safety of his villages. Even after the Revolution, British settlers were still living just north of his lands. He knew that if the British and Americans started fighting again, his people could be drawn into war. So in 1786 he came to New York City, at that time the nations capital. He asked Congress two questions: did Americans want to live in peace with the Senecas? And would the United States respect the boundaries of the land his people lived on, land assigned to them by treaty. Congress assured the chief that he had nothing to worry about. And that's where the portrait comes in.

A VAN STOP AT THE KINZUA DAM-HUGE FISH-NATURE WALK!
The Kinzua Dam, on the Allegheny River in Warren County, Pennsylvania, is one of the largest dams in the United States east of the Mississippi River.[not verified in body It is located within the Allegheny National Forest.
The dam is located 6 miles (10 km) east of Warren, Pennsylvania, along Route 59, within the 500,000-acre (200,000 ha) Allegheny National Forest. A boat marina and beach are located within the dam boundaries. In addition to providing flood control and power generation, the dam created Pennsylvania's second deepest lake , the Allegheny Reservoir, also known as Kinzua Lake.
The lake extends 25 miles to the north, nearly to Salamanca, New York, which is within the Allegany Reservation of the Seneca Nation of New York. Federal condemnation of tribal lands to be flooded for the project displaced more than 600 Seneca members and cost the reservation 10,000 acres (4,000 ha), nearly one-third of its territory and much of its fertile farmland.

Onondaga Chief Jake Edwards discusses 400-year wampum treaty
Onondaga Chief discusses 400-year wampum treaty
A national leader came to New Paltz Wednesday night, but there were no motorcades, no roadblocks, and no secret service.
The speaker was Chief Jake Edwards of the Onondaga Nation indian tribe. The message he brought was encoded four centuries ago into a belt of wampum beads, representing the first treaty between Iroquois and white peoples dated 1613.
Edwards spoke for over an hour about the Great Law universally understood by the First People, known to whites as Native Americans or indians. He said the various treaties made between red and white people incorporate rules of nature which existed long before settlers arrived from Europe.
The Two Row Wampum Renewal Campaign is intended to educate current generations about the ongoing perpetuity of these agreements, which the Iroquois have continually honored but colonial powers quickly reneged and forgot.
We're still here, you guys are still here. So this agreement is still in effect, Edwards maintained. They had it written down, and our people told them, 'one drop of rain, and you won't understand that paper tomorrow.' We put it on a belt of wampum, and so this is still alive, he said.
We understand this agreement will last as long as the sun shines from the east, sets in the west, as long as the grass grows green, and for as long as the waters flow downhill. That in our minds, as one, means forever, the soft spoken chief observed.
The great value of feeling is now transcribed into value of money, Edwards explained. You can't eat that and you can't drink that, he indicated.
You're not at peace if your belly's full of dollar bills, Edwards warned. It's not a matter of history, he added, it's a matter of life.
At the end of July, a delegation of canoes will embark from Albany to New York City on a 13-day journey to renew the message of the Two Row Wampum Treaty, representing both cultures' mutual agreement to live side by side in peaceful sustainability with nature.
Also this summer, another delegation will be riding on horseback from the Sioux Valley Dakota Nation out west, bringing a similar message. Albert Taylor, great elder of that tribe, will be arriving in advance at Woodstock on Thursday Nov. 22, the Great Day of Mourning, known to whites as Thanksgiving.
Taylor will be pray and sweat at Magic Meadow, an ancient LaCrosse field, and give a lecture at Mountain View Studio about legal battles involving indian treaties broken by white governments. Edwards confirmed pre-existing treaties with other tribes which are still honored. We have one with our brothers from the west, he acknowledged.
