Welcome to the visitor from Daniel Hand High School
City Madison Connecticut
To someplace out on the internet almost making it to
my website and/or blog?
I believe that you may have landed on one of the sites
because you removed a photo of my long time friend Chief Homer St. Francis,
withot asking for permission I might add.
You were looking for am image of one of my ancestors
Sachem Uncas? you jumped the gun a little.
Homer St. Francis was a Abenaki Chief, hence the word
Chief before the name.
Uncas was the first Sachem of my people, hence the
word Sachem before his name.
I know you are only a high school however, this is
what happens often when white people assume.
The word assume is not a native word so this may have
been part of the mistake, only problem now is that all of the 1290 students
have the wrong information.
So what do we do about this?
I guess that I can come up to your school and teach
about our people however, I am now to old to drive so someone would need to
provide transportation?
I go nowhere without Breanna and Donna so make it
three?
If someone read the caption I placed under the photo
maybe this mistake would not have happened?
Chief Homer St. Francis of the St. Francis Sokoki Band
of the Abenaki at Missisquoi was a good friend of my father (Sachem Zeak) and
Grandfather (Sachem Tallfox)a real true teaching Mentor American Natives Elder
for me and so many others while we were growing up on our REZ in Uncasvillage!
