Thayendanegea's Point Of View

Hello this is Rebecca Nokatomi blogging live from the point of view of Thayendanegea. He served with the British in the seven year war. During the American Revolution, he still was with the British. He travelled to where the Haudenosaunee were in 1776. They had a treaty with the rebels (patriots, a.k.a the people against the British). The treaty stated that they didn’t have to take part in the American Revolution. He got the Haudenosaunee to take sides with the British, and they helped in many successful battles. Thayendanegea travelled to London, and started a petition for his people, and the British provided land for the allies. Frederick Haldimand (Governor of Quebec) gave land to British allies that were a part of the Haudenosaunee. He granted six miles of land to people. Thayendanegea and many other First Nations moved to this Promised Land stated in the “Halimand Proclamation”. Many pieces of that land are under land claims with the federal government.
