I am a direct descendant of Cornelis Van Slyke and Ostroch. I really enjoyed this presentation. If things could have remained so simple as they were! I see good in both the Hausenoseanee and whites.
Thanks for this. I have an ancestor who was a Palatine German named John Christian Garlock who settled in the Mohawk Valley. His wife died soon after their arrival. He later married a Mohawk Medicine Woman named Betsy. The had a son, John Adam, whose daughter settled here in Western NY.
Thank you so much for this presentation. The information is invaluable to me. I'm a descendent through the Van Slyke line and appreciate the references you've given. ❤
Thank you for all the great insight and history of the land and its people. Where can i connect with my ancestors tribe , i believe Hillitie was from the Turtle clan ?
It’s so hard to find good information but this video is great! Where would I be able to find old maps or information on my land near Tribes Hill? I’m located on the Danascara and old railroad tracks. Ty 💜
my great great grandmother was Catherine of Fonda, Mohawk born 1830, married John Hutchinson 1859, town of Edinburgh... i have their bible, their 3rd son survived, father and 2 others died 1863-68. Cornelius, my great grandfather, father to my grandmother, she greatly favored Mohawk as did my uncles...my fathers people recieved land in the cherry valley for service in the revolution, german mercenaries captured at trenton, changed sides for land....
this was so informative my mothers maiden name was Van Alstine , we are related to the Van Alstines of fort Van alstine in canajaharia , She always told me i was Mohawk Dutch, I would so love to explore my haritage more and dont know were to start ?
I have two branches who were also immigrants. They were supposed to be taken to land promised to them by the Iroquois during their visit to England, but were taken to Stone Arabia as indentured Servants to make pitch. The pines were the wrong kind and they nearly starved. After several years, most families walked out and purchased land in Mohawk Valley. The branches of my family were the Garlocks and the Beckers. An Englishman named Pickard was married to a woman who was Dutch and African Mbuti. Their children intermarried with those families.
I do understand why the 'Dutch' could do this. Original, the ancestors of the Dutch are Frisians. I am a Frisian. The central meaning of the word 'Frisian' is the word 'Fri', or someone who 'free'. Therefor, my freedom cannot surpress the freedom of someone else. And visa-versa. That means: you have to respect each other.
Just so you know you don't need to say German people when you say Dutch people because Germans and Dutch people are originally the same people Germans are originally Dutch I know this because I'm Mohawk Indian Dutch
And some of this guys information is wrong by the way I'm not going to go into details about all of it but I will mention one thing that he's definitely wrong about my tribe the Mohawk have more than three clans there's nine different clans. There's the bear clan the turtle Clan the wolf Clan deer Clan Heron Clan Snipe clan eal clan Beaver clan and eagle clan.

My ancestor was born in 1640 in Fort Orange from Holland. Wondered how it would have been to be so remotely located in those early days.
Return of the Mohawk people!! ❤️🦅❤️
Why theres so many dutch names at Six Nations Reserve.
My ancestors were palatine German emigrants in to Mohawk Valley. Some of them, their names, are on the Oriskany monument
