- On the shore of Lake Winnebago, Joan Schadewald tells how the Brothertown Indians unknowingly gave up their tribal recognition status and have been working for 30 years to restore it. An amalgamation of tribes that were forced from the East Coast to Wisconsin following the Revolutionary War, the Brothertown cling determinedly to their Indian heritage.
That woman has done so much work preserving the history of her people. All the ancestors would be proud.
Very interesting what this Lady is talking and explaining. I am wondering why there is such a low amount of people likening the video.
I am a brotherton, from Michigan but my parents moved here in 1950 from Arkansas. I have never met another Brotherton.
I'm 3% native American and I'm from the bother Town tribe my dad signed all of us kids up
Good question
Not many have seen this. My guess is not much interest from society. We are not supposed to forget our history. Particularly us Natives
Thank you for not shutting off the comment section. I am descended from Solomon Jennings and his 100% lenapi wife who was giving the Christian name Eleanor. I wish I knew her name. Her real name....not her Christian name. Jennings was one of the shameful Delaware Runners in the walking purchase.
Hello my distant cousins. If Joan Schadewald is alive today there is something she should know. When she spoke of President F D Roosevelt what she didnt know was that he was also a descendant of the same people. His family like my own hid the native ancestors for political reasons. It was dangerous to be a half breed. With FDR his family was connected twice. Once through Joanna Atwell (Bill) and Samuel Bill Jr. She was his servant with a child until Bills wife died and later they married. Samuel Bill was a nephew of John O'bail or Obeal a Dutchman and Mayor of Albany NY. He fathered Chief Cornplanter. For Joana Atwell she was a great grandaughter of Uncas the Mohegan Chief and we lived in Joshuatown. It was on Fort Shantock Road today where the Mohegan Tribal council house stands today. The Farms were from the Turnpike Road to the River Coopers(z) Bakers Atwells and Fitch (He was the preacher and later Governors of the Colony) Wheelock taught Samson Occom and Fitch taught the Coopers who became Quakers and Lawyers. James Fenimore Cooper was from this family. In his story he mixed up the Mohegans for Mohicans but I can assure you it the families of Atwell, Unkas and Comstock who were Mohegans in Fort William Henry when Montcalm attacked. Occoms son in law was a Johnson who founded Cooperstown and was killed by General Sullivan in the revolution. Coppers father became a wealthy land agent and visited Occom in Brothertown a few times. The Coopers (Indians then) had been cheated out of their land by Gov John Fitz Winthrop by misspelling their name with a Z on the end in the Will of Attawanhood (Joshua Uncas). Thats on record.
I hope you can retrieve your Identity. As for me we gave it up long ago and moved onto Canada. Not only was Samuel Bill and Joanna Atwell the Ancestors of FDR but also Sir Robert Borden the Prime Minister of Canada in WW1 My great Grandfather trained his race horses until he died in 1954 in his 90's. The House we built in 1761 is still there in Nova Scotia as a B&B. The Duke of Kent stayed in the Inn where he fathered William Fenwick Williams the Pasha of Turkey before he married and fathered Queen Victoria. There is a lot more I can tell you if you reply I can fill in some blanks. Glen Atwell.
Can someone please explain to me how Brotherton was able to purchase land at a discount that the Sioux had been removed from? Was it because if that preacher man and that these people were Christian? Also, are the Brotherton a group of people from various tribes?
