Arrival of tribal chief Ozenonton (Schiphol)

Aankomst Indianenopperhoofd Ozenonton (Schiphol)

Hi, anybody hanging around who is able to confirm Ozenonton was the last tribal chief of the Mahawk tribe as published in the (Nederlandsche Dagbladpers te Batavia from May 11, 1949) ? Thank you for your time. Lotje (talk) 06:15, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Just added a file to show Ozenonton arriving in Schiphol, May 11, 1949. Lotje (talk) 06:15, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Anybody interested in the List of reviewers by subject? Might be helpfult with the name of this tribal chief. The description reads: Ozenonton, but the Dutch language newspaper dated May 12, 1949 spell the name Oskenonton (running deer) of the Chief. As there is a Oskenonton Island, I presume that is the correct spelling. Thank you for your time. :-) Lotje (talk) 08:13, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Unless the dude in that photo was 115 years old, it seems to me that your story is conflating two "Running Deers":

• https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Chief_Running_Deer (disambiguation page)
• https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Donald_F._Malonson (was of the Wampanoag Nation, lived in the correct era, and his uncle is called Harrison Vanderhoop...just sayin'!)
• https://www.indiantime.net/story/2014/04/10/opinion/the-great-grandchildren-of-chief-john-running-deer-with-a-replica-of-the-wolf-belt/13561.html (last hereditary chief of the Kanienʼkehá꞉ka; the Mohawk Nation still has chiefs)

Flag Accuracy?

I think it's important to note that the Eagle and Silver Chain design is specifically the emblem and flag of the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory in Canada. As such, I don't think it can properly be said that it represents the Kanienʼkehá꞉ka as a whole. Would moving elsewhere from the infobox be best? I think at the very least we should include a note of its origin so as not to be misleading.

"Adopted" seems incorrect.

I think perhaps "adopted" is inappropriate as terminology in cases of forcible abduction, often involving rape.

I changed "adopted" to "forcibly adopted". There was no mention of rape in that section of the article; if you have information about that, feel free to point us at some sources. -- Beland (talk) 22:46, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Acute accent or grave in Mohawk autonym?

Any Mohawk editors here? Should it be Kanien'kehà:ka or Kanien'kehá:ka (i.e. "a" with a grave or with an acute accent? The Canadian Encylopedia says both are acceptable. Mohawk Council of Kahnawá:ke has both versions on their website. Mohawk Council of Akwesasne just has Kanien'kehà:ka. Yuchitown (talk) 14:22, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Seven Nations of Canada

According to Seven Nations of Canada, it looks like some of the Mohawk joined that group and fought against the French and then the Americans. It would be nice to have that explained in more detail in this article, particularly how different Mohawk ended up on different sides of armed conflicts, if that happened? -- Beland (talk) 22:50, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
