Welcome
to one of our posting
about the Uncasvillage clan
Benson,
North Carolina
Whatever
happened to the rest of the Mohiigan Clans?
12/4/12
Native
American's, at least the traditionalist.
Like
any other group of people (countries), have different cultures, ceremonies,
language and heads of their type of government.
Sagamore
in tribes of Canada and tribes that left Canada is their leaders.
Sagamore
in our clans is the head of each clan under the direct leadership of the 'Head
Clan Mother with the permission of the Clans Shechaim, or was before casinos?
A
Chief in most tribes west of our people is the head of their tribe, or was
before casinos?
A
chief of our tribes (Clans), is put in-charge of any job the she or he is the
most qualified to get the job completed correctly.
Once
that job is completed correctly that person is not a chief until the next job,
if the most qualified to do the job.
The
Wolf People?
I
was handed this book back in early 2010 about my people; the person wanted me
to read all about the Mohiigan's?
Ever
since the day that the 'government and the government casino's' bought the
Indians (Native Americans of New England).
I
keep getting books from people asking me to read and give them my opinion.
After
spending a lifetime as one of the original people I was sure by now that I was
at least a little familiar with them however, she was an elder so I took the
book with a promise to read it, someday.
Someday
just came because I had an eye doctor's appointment at the VA.
Any
veteran will tell you that one had better bring something to do and hope that
your eyes are ok for reading.
Whatever
happened to all of the rest of the Mohiigan
Clans?
I
am telling you now that, like with my feelings about hunters, I am writing
today just to give off a little steam, then I will click delete!
I
am guessing that the book was written just after the casinos opened, because
the author was nowhere around while I was in 'Uncasvillage' or New England for
that matter.
About
the only thing good coming from this book as far as I can see is, now I know
what happened to all of the information that use to be in the libraries around
the area, and why no one has been able to find out anything about our people,
except written after the early 1990's!
No!
Even
though I usually make it a point to give a reference to my postings, I have no
plans to give you the name of this book, because you might be tempted to go
waste your money on the thing.
I
found that everything in this book, as with most other books about my people,
was stolen from another source, or is a fabrication of the truth (half-truth)!
First
thing we must note is that very few of the people in these book were around
Uncasvillage in the 30's, 40's,50's 60's 70's and 80's so why are they called
Mohiigan's ?
The
next would be why is it that only men in the book are called chief?
Why
are none of the women called chief?
Why
did this book allow you to believe that the English could dictate who should be
our Shechaim?
What
does this book mean when it said that the Sachemship? (Shechaim royal family)
Ended?
Did
someone kill us all?
No
wonder I have such horrible writing habits,
I'm
dead!
As
explained in an earlier posting, like many other cultures, the royal family
went underground and kept the royal line intact through the 'Trace, Fielding,
Storey line'!
Remember
that a (chief) in an Eastern Woodland American Traditional Tribe is appointed
by the 'Head Clan Mother' with the blessings of the
Shechaim Ohjieshan,
'this chief' is a person with a job 'authorized by the Head Clan Mother' and
that person (man or woman ) is only chief until that job is finished.
The
next job may need to use another person better qualified as that jobs 'leader
or chief'.
If
this chief needs assistants with the workload, he may, with the permission of
the Head Clan Mother Assign help (a Sagamore).
So
one would rightfully conclude that all of the chiefs in this book and any other
book on Eastern Woodland Native Americans are just workers for the people
assigned by their Head Clan Mother through the Shechaim Ohjieshan.
The
book does go on talking about some of the people that they now call chiefs
however, once again, only a few of those name were of the remaining 13 families
living on Mohiigan/Pequot land, not one was still a chief at the time of
crossing!
Selling
a book?
Remember
Creator is watching!
