We are the Haudenosaunee

- This is the first of 8 short, testimonial films, on the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois.) The Iroquois are embarking on an historic project about the 500-year history of the Iroquois, their relationship with Europe and America and their prophesies that, if heard, can help us navigate the oncoming changes due to climate change. This series of short films is done via their testimony, and creates the space for the Iroquois to tell their story as they strive to uphold the traditions and the legacy of their people while also protecting the central tenents of their people and their relationship and care for the Earth.
This series was created by Tree Media in collaboration with Oren Lyons, Sid Hill and the Haudenosaunee. This series was created with the support of the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation and with the support of Executive Producer Oliver Stanton.

The Haudenosaunee gave my family, who are Susquehannock, safe refuge. I wanted to tell the Haudenosaunee thank you for helping and protecting my family. You were not forgotten. My Great-Grandfather made sure to tell us of your kindness to him and our family. He lived a beautiful life and left a big family behind. My family has lived in fear of saying out loud, that we are descendants of the Susquehannock. But I do not want to live that way, I want my family to be proud, like I am, of my ancestors.
"The French call us Iroquois, English call us Six Nations, but we are six confederated nations, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, Tuscarora. It's an old confederation based on peace, equity, and good minds."

"Confederacy" as in breaking away from being Anishina'abeg to be Jesuit Tribes of a corporation Canada.
So appreciative of the Indigenous people taking the time to teach all of us these important facts about their history and people that most of us never learned. Thank you!
We should all do our best to live like the Haudenosaunee, Think of the next generation and be good to the earth.
And think of the Great Spirit too!!!
My keen interest in haudenosaunee culture and history started when I was a boy . The first friend I ever had was a young Mohawk boy , his name was Dan same as mine! We were both like 7 years old but he would talk about how proud he was to be Mohawk and talked about his culture ! I was fascinated and have been ever since! I love the culture , history and traditions of the haudenosaunee people and I have a lot of love ❤️ and respect for them ! This was a great video , if everyone lived by the key principles mentioned by the chiefs in this video, this world would be a much better place!
much thanks for sharing this story. Please, do you have any more! Please share anything else. The stories can keep this thing going!

Thank you for this video. I have been teaching kids grades 7-11 about how the US gov't is rooted in the Haudenosaunee's govtal structure for about 15 years, and today I will have 9th graders learning the foundations of democracy by comparing and contrasting this video with one about Greece. I appreciate those that made this video for sharing.
We are thrilled when we hear these videos are helping people understand our history more clearly.
@@treemedia-n2k This is a very interesting topic! I am in 7th grade and we are doing this topic! Very sad but interesting!
Democracy can never work, for people come with different levels of maturity, and abilities, and it allows the neediest to scream too loudly, and the greediest to take the most power and riches.. The only way to equality of rights, equity, true freedom, and peace and harmony, can come through spiritual principles, which is served by leaders with the greatest humility and wisdom at the top of the pyramid, people who can connect with the spiritual currents from Above, and pass them on, for without them we are powerless. Then, people become needy, greedy, despotic, and tyrannical, and nobody agrees on much really. Thus, we need to make the connection with higher spiritual planes, and then the Great Spirit, or Will of the Almighty Himself, for it is He, Who gives of this power, through the Water of Life, but we have to earn its absorption, through better ways of thinking and living, which many tribes did at one time, until much was lost when the ways of the white man adulterated their purity. And this leaves me heartbroken, for the times were truly beautiful in some of those tribes, for my spirit has not forgotten those days, within its Wheel of Reincarnation. Aho!!!
very cool comparison lesson!
They are still teaching us how to live and love ❤
I have nothing but respect for the native NYers......as a fellow NYer I support you fully....
everyone else from your fellow ny need to learn this crazy history.. this is a story this is life there for real
What an amazing video. I am so excited to share this with my students. I have nothing but admiration and respect for the incredible Haudenosaunee nations who have given so much to humanity, including the great model of peaceful democracy and matrilinear decision making. I can only do my part in trying to educate my students differently than I was educated and support the Aboriginal cultural activities and non-profit organizations with donations. A long and peaceful thriving of many generations is what I sincerely wish for the Onondaga people in this video.
"The little land we have left"
Got one of the worst deals of all...
The good minds are gathering strength and even though some might think the tree has fallen, it will be caught and put back up
May the branches of the Great Tree of Peace, White Pine, shelter, guide us to listen to the voice of the Creator in the whispering of its long leaves.
Yes, this is the way, for man has lost the art of silent receiving from the higher spheres of Creation, through his neediness, and noise.
Proud to be Onyo ta aka!!!
I am longing to make a pilgrimage to the Six Nations. Am sharing with many.
It touches me deeply how they get emotional when they talk about their sacred roots. In the near future, the white true believers, and the Indian will join in faith and style of life.
I am a christian and im 20 years old retaking american history 1 and it hits so much different. American history is a one sided story. And we are lied to about the true foundation of America. We built our nation on stolen land on top of others.
I didnt celebrate thanksgiving this year and I dont think i will next year. I dont endorse genocide.. It was the Jamestown colony that pissed me off but the pilgrims are questionable and the PURITANS beat people with the bible almost literally they completely forgot jesus christ in the mix. Then I came to learn some natives today treat thanksgiving as a day of mourning. So I will treat it as a day of respect and apology for the generations before me. Not out of sympathy. I dont have pity for them. But out of empathy because I cant ever fully understand that pain or process it but i can see how many have been hurt and I am angry for them and i hurt with them.
@@itsjustjacie8150 Don't worry, the Indians also did it, and almost all peoples in the world. We are not judged by our ancestors' deeds but on ours.
@@itsjustjacie8150 You Jace, I see and feel you brother. This is one .. you have felt, and are so blessed to be so eloquent in your experience. Could or would you be able to please share how this came to be?
@@EMonzonyou are using a racist word by calling people indians, and you are also being racist by implying that "indians" are just as bad as the violent christian colonizers. They are called Haudenosaunee, and no they will not one day come to God and become good christians you lunatic
💖dad had a grandmother was Iroquois but I am now mixed but very interested in all that has to do with my ancestors. 💖
She was * Haudenosaunee
how could you not! this is an amazing culter, a people.. so so so much wisdom. keep looking deeper into it. I am right now in a book from 1992 when the Smithsonian museum worked on this book I'm reading Native American Dance ceremonies and social traditions.
@@Hunter1991ish Iroquois is the correct name that the people use. Haudenosaunee is something they're alright with us calling them, but it's better to just use the same name they use.
@@saltytoshiro3685 you got it backwards lol. Iroquois is not a haudenosaunee word. Iroquois is what the French called haudenosaunee people. Just like my mother who is Cree the word Cree is what europens called nehiyaw people.
@@Hunter1991ish Oh, my bad. Thanks for correcting me.
I’m from the Seminole tribe of Florida , and want to visit every nation in Florida
All the property that these people used to live on, should be their’s to this day. From the beginning we should’ve lived under their rules, not vice versa.
one can really imagine

Akin to a number of other tribes, the Haudenosaunee were given special tidings, due to their strong connections to nature, belief in the spirit world, and their beauty, nobility, purity and simplicity of many of the natives of those days. I know, for in my Wheel of Reincarnation, I was there, and thus these days and many bitter experiences from them gouged indellible marks upon my spirit, which have kept me alive, awake and alert in spirit. This was part of the threefold mission of these lives and prophecies, so that human spirits who incarnated at this time could keep alive the essence of the greater battle between darkness and light, and so become strong and thereby, as the book 'the Return of the Bird Tribes' stated, reincarnate later in other peoples and parts of the world to help others in these, the end days and times of great distress.
Also, these tribes were given a staff by which to maintain a spiritual way of living, if they so wanted it that way, for the posterity of those drawn to living in their tribes at later dates. Finally, for the sake of modern man, in these days of globalism, many could hear of these prophecies, and thus decide one last time, what kind of path they wish to follow, the way of the spirit that leads to eternal life in Paradise, or the ways of the mind, which leads to earthly destruction and eternal perdition. It really is fast approaching, through the great Apocalypse, the separation of mankind, and the last chance to save the earth and ourselves, as was forewarned on many occasions.
To achieve success man must bear his soul before the Great Spirit, surrendering all his belief systems by which he lives from the mind, and which cause the many conflicts between himself and others, for beliefs stem from guilt and fear, and produce greater evils whereby men desire to be better than, and have more, than the next man. And they care little for nature too, which he prefers to conquer and master, than live in harmony with. Thus, the man of the mind has no respect, nor does he honour, anything or anyone. And all the wrong paths taken through this discourse must now lead to the Apocalypse, which is simply an intensified period of purification storms and karma, that through suffering, will cleanse men of their evil ways, or else. For if he still does not change, then the earth and he will be no more.
It is therefore the time for men, where it is to be, or not to be! Thus, he must surrender to the the Rays of Love, Purity and Justice that pervade Creation from his Creator, who patiently awaits man to desire to serve the Great Spirit out of devout loyalty and deepest gratitude, for which he will receive untold treasures according to the law that you reap what you sow, and so men can receive great blessings if he so wishes. And if he cannot become obedient and serve in humility according to God's Will, then there can be no rebirth amongst the nations. So make haste brothers, and learn to pray and live aright, and avert the final disaster that could befall man, his own self-destruction!!!
Natives have had as much influence on the formation of the U.S. as any European country. The political concepts (elected representatives etc) outlined in the U.S. Constitution, for instance, was inspired by/based on the Haudenosaunee and Cherokee nations, (who are related. Apparently, the Haudenosaunee branch broke off from the southern Cherokee and move north into today's New York territory-which would explain the cultural similarities between both nations). Thank you for uploading this.

This is awesome
I love your culture
Joey goosebumps that is Oren Lyons from this video
I am part Iroquoi. I wish so much I knew the exact names of Iroquoi ancestors. My great Grandfather Arthur Whitney was half Iroquoi and half English. You could see the Iroquoi in his face. He was born and raised in Vermont, Goshen Vermont. I am looking into my ancestry to find my Native relatives. My mother...you could see the Native in her face and eyes. You can not see it in my face but still I want to know. I do know I had an ancestor named Olive Brickle. She was full blooded native and married a Scottish man.
I am a little confused because my mother told me we were Iroquoi and Algonquin. I don't understand what this means truly. So, I am going to look into any records of ancestors to try to discover who my Native relatives are and their names.
Were these relatives?: Joseph Brickle was born circa 1870, at birth place, Ohio, to D. W. Brickle and Olive Brickle.
Joseph had 5 siblings: Charles Brickle, Amanda Brickle and 3 other siblings.
Joseph lived in 1880, at address, Ohio.
Charles Davis I am not sure. I was reading a genealogy yesterday but it is of the Whitney family who married Natives. Olive Brickle May have been through another branch; but thank you for the information.
@charlesdavis6483. Do you do ancestry research?
Just how indigenous people are fighting for their 7th generation to come, so are we over here in Germany fighting for respect, good hearts and equity. The human farming that is all over this country must end. Me and my children have gotten into a ring of human farming and every move we make is monitored. There are only three choices we have here: to stay invisible and dodge everyone with ulterior motives, to love and bear children and then being forced giving them up in one way or another. And the last thing is joining the bulk of pedophiles, doctors and psychiatrists and all the other people who have chosen to do bad things to good hearts.
Iroquois means snakes, refer to them as Haudenosaunee
My grandmother is a Haudenosaunee from the Seneca nation I was separated from all this but I'm in the works of getting a DNA kit and registering I did a test from my character and it named me Donhogawa Pleathok Niagwei though my English name is David
keep those names in existence forever and spread them. get in touch with the cousins, keep that life living ! Here in the Pacific North West on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations

@pillarheights1130 How strange - my ancestors are from Normandy (1643) & Czechoslovakia (1920). An Indian woman near Trois-Rivières First Nation Reserves married that Lemieux Frenchman around 1643!!! I'm looking for my Indian relatives.

The peacemaker said they should base their confederation on 3 principles. What were they?
He said peace, equity, and good minds.
I heard there are 5 tribes. The Peacemaker created peace between the nations
samar osama ur correct but the 6th Nation tuscarora from the south joined later in history...I kno bcz I’m from the biggest n populous Rez in Canada, Six Nations of the Grand River

Hi Keira Glenn Hofmann
My maternal grandmother was Haudenosaunee but was taken away by those whites desiring to "civilize" her🤬🤬🤬....We never knew her cultural name, only the whitewashed name given her....I don't even know where to start investigating deeper because we don't know her parents names😪😪😪😪
same issue thanks to residential schools and oppression our connection to our culture has been stripped im slowly rediscovering it
If you knew where she lived then you could try churches in the area for baptism records. Whites would have had her baptised.
You dude
The spirit world is here but only few get to look at it in a live dreem. It's a dream but not the typical dream we are accustomed to. Those who are lucky to get a peek at it are inside the spirit world for a second or two. It is eternal life not like life of this material dimension we're in everyday of our life. The spirit world has no sound only peace and silence. The pace is slower than that of an average person walking a path. The spirits don't touch the ground like me and you. Pinto cows also walk along by our side in the spirit form and we don't even know it. The spirit form is here on earth and is transparent not solid like you and me. I always wanted to make sense of this vision but never could. An old man with white sheets clothing walking with 3 pinto cows . Like if that was the path they always took together and knew it by heart. Power to the people, let's end this rotten political system, let's end this rat race system, let's end the crimes against humanity & let's use our own media our own teachers our own system. We must become AUTONOMOUS again.
how's the "AUTONOMOUS again" passion doing two years in. Honest and genuinely interested. I just finished the same video as you. any good links to recommend on that topic

Where are the women?
The Indian saved the pilgrim and in return the pilgrim killed him u call Thanksgiving i call your holiday hell day

What's H.D.I this is what the chiefs and clan mothers are in . I heard they work with the government's do you here what they are doing
Hold on... Your English name? Haven't you been stripped enough of what makes you special? My dad is Iroquois and Dutch on his father's side, Italian on his mom's.
I would NEVER take an English name if I were brought up here. Never.
Having an English name is quite practical. Traditional Haudenosaunee official names are not given at birth. There are a pool of traditional names and the names are given to children based on the best "fit" of the name to the child in a naming ceremony. But names only are available after someone with the name dies. Haudenosaunee don't simply give a name that doesn't fit or innovate a new name. Hence he mentions having three names: birth (nick) name, English name, and given name.
You just did my referring to your dad as Iroquois you took the French name. 🤦♀️
