Mail your advertisement to P.O. B Joseph Brant... continued from page 10 Joseph was educated in the traditional man- ner of an Iroquois brave. As a Mohawk, member of the proudest tribe in a powerful confederacy, he learned the rich heri- tage of his ancestors. He learned practical les- sons, too: hunting, wood lore, and the skills of war, which he put to use in 1755. He was 13 when he accompanied Sir Willi- am Johnson, superin- tend of Indian Affairs, and husband of his sister Molly Brant, to Lake George. There, and' in the battles that followed in the next two years, the British for- ces defeated the French and secured their claim to North America. While Joseph's pro- wess as a watrior might have assured him a place of honour in his people's longhouses a generation earlier, tradi- tional Indian skills were no longer sufficient. The steady westward push of American colonists was altering the Indian way of life, and an Indian leader needed to move in two worlds. Influen- ced no doubt by William Johnson, Brant enrolled in a mission school in Connecticut. He was 19, older than his fellow students, but he studied hard. By the time he left school to help quell the Pontiac uprising, he was instructing other stud- ents. Brant proved his skills as a statesman when he convinced the Six Na- tions Iroquois to forget Pontiac and remain allied with the British. In the peace which fol- lowed, he settled down on a farm with his wife Owase and two child- ren. But Owase died of tuberculosis when their son was seven. Brant married her half-sister, Onogola, who succumb- ed to the disease a year later. After waiting sev- eral years, he married Catherine Croghan, who was half-Irish, half- Indian.

Reid | Chairman M. Twomey Director ] Brant's third mar- riage took place on the eve of the American Revolution. About the same time, Sir William Johnson died. There was much _ dissention within the Six Nations confederacy. Some favored the British point of view, while others wanted to side with the rebels. Only Brant's in- fluence - and an insult from the Continental Congress, which sent a minor official to nego- tiate with the Indians - kept the confederacy allied with the Red- coats. The war was long, bloody, and, for the British, futile. In the aftermath, many of the Six Nations Indians moved to Canada, where British governor Sir Frederick Haldimand provided land for them. Some settled in the Bay of Quinte area, but most followed Brant to land reserved for them on either side of the Grand River. There, the town of Brantford was estab- lished. By 1782, it had a population of 1500, a sawmill, a school and a chapel, the first pro- testant church in On- tario. Yet, for Joseph Brant, the new land brought little peace. There were rivalries within the tribes, and one old enemy accused him of misappropriating Indian funds. Then, in a drunk- en rage, Brant's only son Issac attacked him. In self-defense, Brant killed the younger man. Although acquitted, he never forgave him- self. He spent his final days at Wellington Square, the house he built for himself on Bur- lington Bay. One of his proudest accomplish- ments during this time was the translation of the Bible into Mohawk. He died in 1807, after witnessing one of the most crucial periods in North American history, and helping, in his own way, to shape the des- tiny of Ontario. 1981 Datsun King Cab, red in colour, fiberglass cab, low mileage.
