 TEN Quote Corner

(Spring 2005)

 

This land is the house we have always lived in . . .

 

- Linda Hogan, Chickasaw

 

TEN Quote Corner

(Summer 2005)

 

In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

 

-Baba Dioum

 

 

 TEN Did You Know

(Fall 2005)

 

The Yearly annuity the Haudenosaunee receive as part of the Canandaigua Treaty of 1794 could be used to purchase "domestic animals". The treaty says '. . . on the twenty third day of April 1792, making in the whole four thousand five hundred dollars; which shall be expended yearly, forever, in purchasing clothing, domestic animals, implements of husbandry, and other utensils, suited to their circumstances . . .'. The flourish of farms during that time among the Haudenosaunee must have been outstanding.

 

 

TEN Final Thoughts

(Winter 2005)

 

It would be a very strange thing, if Six Nations of ignorant savages should be capable of forming a scheme for such an Union, and be able to execute it in such a manner, as that it has subsisted ages, and appears indissoluble; and yet that a like Union should be impracticable for ten or a dozen English colonies, to whom it is more necessary, and must be more advantageous; and who cannot be supposed to want an equal understanding of their interests.

 

- As written by Benjamin Franklin to James Parker on March 20, 1750/51, irritated that the colonists had yet to form a union comparable to that of the Haudenosaunee.
