Onondaga people

This is a book that highlights the history and present of indigenous democracy on the land that we call the Americas and specifically the United States of America.

So the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and the now six nations of Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga,

Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora.

And this book is basically an invitation from elders in this world to reconnect with our humanness and with a deeper democracy, which has these amazing principles that are probably very consistent around the world.

He catches a 65-yard touchdown and adds 137 yards on kick returns in one of the Phoenix's biggest upsets of the season.

In 2024, World Lacrosse creates a special achievement award and names Onondaga lacrosse leader Oren Lyons its first recipient.

Lyons earns the recognition for his work carrying the game and the Haudenosaunee lacrosse tradition to a worldwide audience.

The day's first story on November 5th comes in 2006.

A huge crowd is pulling for Cote, but Lopez goes the full 15 rounds and wins a unanimous decision.

He is the new world featherweight champion.

That same day in 1976, Canada formally designates Onondaga runner Tom Longboat a National Historic Person.

The honor recognizes the distance running star who won the 1907 Boston Marathon and became one of Canada's most celebrated athletes.

The proud Senecas, whose portion of the house extended from Seneca Lake to Niagara, were the western doorkeepers of this household of nations, waging fierce war on their neighbors near Lake Erie.

The wily Onondagas, wise old politicians in the middle of the long house at Onondaga Lake, led in council.

Their leading chief, the elected president of this first American republic, lit the central council fire and sat in state among the fifty Oyanders, sachems, who formed the Iroquois Senate.

Ten of these were always Kaniengas or Mohawks, and fourteen were Onondagas.

These two nations and the Senecas were called brothers, while the intermediate Oneidas and Cayugas were always spoken of as nephews because they were younger and less important nations with fewer Oyanders.

Tekakwitha's father may have been one of the ten Mohawk Oyanders, but there is more reason to believe that he belonged to a class of war chiefs who took part only in councils of war.

They clung to it in the midst of all the wild superstitions of their conquerors.

They explained it to others as well as they could, and they welcomed with glad hearts any black gown who was brave enough to tread in the footsteps of Jogues.

It was at the time of the Berry Moon that Yesenowes hit the story trail.

Since then, she has journeyed through all the lands of the Senecas, the Onondagas, the Cayugas, the Oneidas, the Mohawks, and the Tuscaroras.

Like the storyteller of old, Yesenoes wandered from lodge to lodge of the Iroquois.

Anio, she would call.

No, I did not know there were

Onondagas.

The Onondaga Indians were right around Palmyra in the same area.

And so Joseph, the reason this is interesting to me is Joseph Smith says later when he's with Zion's camp, they unearth this body and he's like, oh, it's Zelf.

He's a white Lamanite.

And he says he was under the prophet named Onondagas.

And so Joseph's just kind of, for me, I think Joseph's just playing on the words of this Native American group that was right around his area anyway.

Um, but anyway, that's really interesting.

Okay, I can't wait.

And the first one is not so much an election, but an association that was by choice and by democracy, small, small, small, almost microscopic, the Iroquois Confederacy that put the six together, the major six tribes in Northern part of America, the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cuyahoga, Seneca, Iroquois, because that Confederacy was close enough to the founding fathers that while they took from European, They also looked at the practical separation of powers in that six nation confederacy for inspiration.

I don't want to overdraw that, but some inspiration for aspects of the U.S. Constitution.

I totally agree with you.

This idea of competition, creating something and bringing something up and then not like being shut away from it after introducing it to the entire world.

And I'm going to reference the Onondaga Nation, People of the Hills.

They're reporting on it because I think it's really important to center the community in that.

And it talks about will the Games creators be able to even attend? And at this point, no, they won't because they won't be able to qualify through traditional systems.

It was formed for intertribal security, diplomacy, and governance based on the tribe's great law of peace.

The participating tribes were the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora.

The Dutch and later British engaged in fur trading in exchange for European items such as metal tools, firearms, and alcohol.

Around the same time, French explorers came into contact with the Huron-Wendat Confederacy, who were continually at war with the Iroquois.
