The Maïngan People of Connecticut

The Maïngan  People of Connecticut
Just who are the American native eastern woodland
The Moiigans, 'Maïngan – Yáw – Wolf-People',
(Maïngan),
people and where did they come from?

Scholars, archeologists, anthropologists and just plain people have been trying to trace our people the Moiigan's' for years now.

I believe most would agree to start someplace in the middle east or the middle of Africa, this is the place that is agree on as the start of our life as we now know it.

Religion set aside for now only so that I may make the point of where my people got that name, many now believe that their ancestors followed the food chain across the Striates

(what was then a land bridge between what is now Russia & Alaska)

across

(what is now Canada)

and then our people continued down into what is now called

(the Great Lakes in upper New York Lower Canada).

My ancestors, a part of the (Monheags) Mohican people, after some time became closer to Mother Earth as farmers; they became so good at farming that 'other villages' wanted their land

and

pushed them all the way across the land and over what we call the Pequot river

(Thames River).

After so many years of being beat up and pushed around, our people finely learned how to fight back, so when the villages of this new land started pushing, our people pushed back and pushed back so well they ended up with all of the land!

When the Europeans showed up and stated pushing they pushed back and pushed so hard that the Europeans called our ancestors the Piquet’s

(destroyers),

later the English changer the name to

Pequot’s.

When Grand Sachem Wopigwooit, one of many of our peace loving Sachem’s, died in 1631

(there should never be a vote of the people).

However, two names came up as too who should be the next sachem,

Uncas had seniority and the blood line and Sassacus wanted war so he

(Sassacus)

became the next Sachem of the Pequot people?

This is wrong as wrong could be, to go against the wishes of our ancestors!

After many years, many wars and the loss of so many young braves of the Pequot people, Uncas, now war chief,

tried to get Sachem Sassacus to stop the wars and try peace with the Europeans and neighboring tribes.

As Uncas explained,

Every time the Europeans lost a warrior, ten more would come to fight in his place;

the Pequot’s had no replacements and would soon no longer exist.

The trickster

(Coyote, Satan)

blinded the eyes of Sassacus and most of the Pequot people,

So, Uncas took all that wished to go over the Pequot river to what is now called

the Great falls

and changed the name back to Moiigan's.

This group of his people asked Uncas to take his rightful place as Sachem of this group of Moiigans.

Martha, his wife, had one husband, Uncas as Sachem had many wives.

Now

Because of this

Sassacus considered Uncas and his people to be just another of his many enemy so the Pequot’s. Immediately attacked this group across the river at a place now known as Fort Shantok park. named after one of the Moiigan braves,

 that held off this brutal attack from their relatives.

Eventually the Europeans and all of the Pequot neighboring tribes grew tired of this constant fighting joined forces

and

regardless of what you now read in the papers

or

from some people.

Completely decimated the entire Pequot tribe, now called nation!

It was at this time that Uncas became

"The Grand Shechaim Ohjieshan of all of the people".

Because of new wars with the Narragansett’s

(who many time were much more brutal to the peace loving smaller tribes then the old Pequot tribe)

Uncas moved a small band of non-royal mixed clan

of his new tribe and settled them as lookouts in the area now known as Fort Shantok.

As usual the European’s began misspelling the name of our people and started calling them

Mohegan’s.


As Paul Harvey liked to say,

“Now you know the rest of the story”.

As told to me by our Elders.

“AHO”

O K I may need to go through this once again before you read the following article.

In an Eastern Woodland American Native Society

(a Matriarch Society)

the Shechaim Ohjieshan (Sachem),  is the ruler of the people.

This person is born into the Royal family

no one can vote for a Sachem (Shes-um).

This person male or Female

can designate anyone of his people as chief

and

that person will be a chief for as long as the Sachem needs that person to be chief of a job for the tribe.

Each tribe has a number of clan mothers with one chosen

by the Sachem as head Clan Mother.

The tribe also has a council of Elders and this council is set up and run by the clan mothers.

Now the entire tribe collects and hands over everything to their Sachem,

then the Sachem distributes everything through-out the tribe!

Once everything is evenly distributed the Sachem and family must rely on the tribe for the families care and comfort!

This has a tendency to have a very good Sachem.

Prior to her death on July 15, 1929,

and

because he was the next in line

Alice Melinda Storey/Tracy/ Fielding

appointed

William James Storey

to be Sachem Tallfox

and

her choice to rule

The Moiigans, 'Maïngan – Yáw – Wolf-People', (Mohegan).

Alice Storey/Tracy Fielding was at that time known as the Princess (Sachem) of the Mohegan’s, and is a direct descendant of Uncas, acknowledged leader of the Mohegan Indian Tribe,

during the "Pequot War" of 1637, and thereafter.

This title was affirmed as

"Sachem for Life" by the Officers of Tribal Council of Mohegan Indians

and on November 18, 1933

Sachem Tallfox appointed his cousin John Hamilton as his War Chief of land claims

and

this was recognized and supported by the Mohegan’s, including Courtland Fowler, from 1933 through the 1960s.

In the late 1960s, War Chief Hamilton was authorized by the Council of Descendants of Mohegan Indians to act on its behalf in matters pertaining to the relations between the Mohegan Indian Tribe

and

the State of Connecticut.

At that time, Fowler served on the Council under war chief John Hamilton.

In 1970,

A faction of Mohegan’s became dissatisfied with the prospects

of the Mohegan Indian Tribe filing of land claim suit against the tribe’s neighbors.

So at an unofficial Council meeting in May 1970,

sought to elect a new leader of the Mohegan Tribe?

War Chief Hamilton rejected the asserted authority of the Council to replace him so he and his followers left the meeting.

The remaining Mohegan Indians and non Indians at the meeting elected Courtland Fowler as their leader?

The total number of people casting votes was fewer than 10

according to public statements made by Courtland Fowler.

Fewer than 10 people tried

and succeeded

to overthrew the Sachems Constitutional government and leadership tradition

older than recorded history

and

leave the majority of Mohegan’s out.

Of course

this delighted the federal and state government because it closed all of our treaties forever!

Despite this separation however, from the 1970s until 1994,

no Mohegan Indian was excluded from participation in traditional practices, events or ceremonies by virtue of association with either the Storey/Hamilton or Fowler faction of Mohegan Indians.

War Chief Hamilton continued to pursue a land claim suit on behalf of the Mohegan Tribe, and retained counsel for the purpose of prosecuting the land claim suit.

In 1977,

"The Mohegan Tribe,"

acting through War Chief Hamilton,

filed a land claim suit in federal district court in Connecticut against the State of Connecticut, asserting that aboriginal and historic claims and titles to over 2,000 acres in Montville, Connecticut

had been extinguished in violation of the Non-Intercourse Act.

War Chief Hamilton further filed a notice with the Bureau of Indian Affairs

("BIA")

seeking federal acknowledgment of

"The Mohegan Tribe" in 1978.

Both the land claim suit and the acknowledgment petition were filed on behalf of the Mohegan Tribe by Attorney Jerome Griner,

who had been retained by Hamilton under his authority as Chief of Land claims.

From May 1970 through 1979, the Fowler faction continued to actively and publicly oppose both the land claim suit and the federal acknowledgment petition.

From 1979 to 1981,

the Fowler faction organized an entity called the

"Mohegan Tribal Council"

and

adopted a constitution for its governance in 1980.

At around this time, Attorney Griner, counsel of record for the Mohegan Tribe in the land claim suit and the federal acknowledgment petition, ceased accepting direction from Chief Hamilton. and

instead began to take direction from the Fowler faction, without notifying either the federal court

or t

he BIA of his change in clients.

WHY?

(M O N E Y)!

Upon discovering that Attorney Griner had begun to serve the interests of the Fowler faction,

in 1981.

Hamilton discharged him and retained separate counsel from Attorney Robert Cohen.

Although the State raised the issue of the propriety of filings by two attorneys on behalf of

"The Mohegan Tribe"

in the land claim suit when Cohen filed his appearance in 1981 and then later in 1989, the issue of authorization for the filings of Griner and Cohen was never resolved by the district court.

The Fowler faction amended its constitution in 1984

and

renamed itself the Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut

("MTIC").

In 1985, Attorney Griner filed detailed documentation before the BIA in support of the 1978 acknowledgment petition on behalf of

"The Mohegan Tribe, petitioner."

Griner submitted an MTIC membership roll of 1,017 members, claiming that this roll relied on lists of Mohegan Indians prepared by the State of Connecticut.

The BIA then placed the petition under

"active consideration."

Also in 1985, the State of Connecticut filed a formal opposition to federal acknowledgment with the BIA,

characterizing Hamilton and his followers and the Fowler group as two factions of a single, unitary Mohegan Tribe.

In support of this position, the State relied on a 1979 letter from a member of the Fowler faction stating that

"‘they do not have a tribal organization because they are going to organize to form a tribal group for the sole purpose of combating War Chief John Hamilton.’"

In November 1989, the BIA announced its proposed decision that the United States would not acknowledge the Mohegan Tribe, based on its finding that

from 1941 to the date of the rejection, the Mohegan Tribe did not demonstrate sufficient social community or sufficient political authority and influence as required under 25 CPR 83.7 (b) and (c).

The BIA did not examine the files and records of Hamilton or the Council prior to issuing the proposed rejection.

In 1990,

Cohen submitted a response to the BIA pointing out that the BIA had never examined these files, and in which he narrated the internal leadership and external political and land claim efforts of Hamilton from 1941 until his death in 1988.

Because of the crossing of War Chief Hamilton

And

 the crossing in 1986 of Sachem Tallfox’s last living son Sachem Zeak, Clarence J Storey,

another

Mohegan tribal faction started under the leadership of Eleanor Fortin a White Person and

 The Secretary/driver of War Chief John E Hamilton.

Hurricane Matthew and East Lake County Florida!

And

Why was Central Florida (hurricane dollar damage so low)?


Friday, December 2, 2016

One might get the idea;
if it was not against the law to do so,
believe that a hurricane
is an opening,
to make people
not voting correctly
suffer.

Some areas of a direct hit
from a hurricane
not getting any help
 from the government.

And

Call it

 "Not enough dollar Damage!"

Hurricane Matthew and East Lake County Florida!

Hurricane Matthew and East Lake County Florida!
The SECO's area hardest hit
was
East Lake County!
SECO NEWS
2016 Hurricane Recap
 
Paisley in Lake County Florida
The powers to be in the Florida Government
are telling the people in Lake County Florida.

Because there is not enough damage
reported in the county.
No one can get assistance
from
the government of Florida
or
FEMA!

Every one of them wants to help and is trying to help.

However,
Governor Rick Scott refuses to call it a disaster area?

It would seem that there was not enough
dollar damage in the Lake county area
to allow FEMA's help?

Please explain this to our home, and the neighborhood.

While you are at it with your explanation,
Please ask SECO!
SECO's report
 
 
Tropical Storm Colin

Tropical Storm Colin made landfall in the late night hours on Monday, June 6.

Colin is the first named storm to make landfall in Florida since Andrea in 2013.

While Colin moved across the state, parts of SECO’s service area experienced tropical-storm-force winds and extended periods of heavy rainfall.

Colin caused only a small number of outages in SECO’s area.

Crews worked quickly and safely to restore these outages within hours.

Hurricane Hermine

made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane in the Big Bend area
on Friday, September 2.

Hermine brought buckets of rain and high winds to the area,
causing approximately 14,000 total service interruptions.

Along with the hurricane, tornadoes touched down in Sumter County.

Members in Marion, Levy and Citrus counties
were hardest hit by Hurricane Hermine.

The SECO team did a stellar job in quickly restoring power by midnight that Friday.
Hurricane Matthew
Hurricane Matthew became an extremely powerful Category 3 hurricane
that hugged Florida’s east coast as it traveled north

Thursday, October 6.

Though Matthew didn’t make landfall in Florida, the storm brought rain and very strong winds to SECO’s service area.

The hurricane accounted for
approximately 28,000 outages
for SECO members.

The area hardest hit was East Lake County,
which suffered extensive damage.
Broken trees,
damaged utility poles,
flooding
and
roadway debris
were challenges for
SECO crews
and
contractors.

By early Saturday afternoon,

all SECO members’ power was restored.

However,
the damage to our homes
still remain!

(President Barack Hussein Obama II),

The President of all of the United States of America
As the president of James Comey, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton,
and
'All'
of the United States of America,
(President Barack Hussein Obama II),
likes to say.
"Don't just BOO, VOTE!"

And
While you are at it, do not be deceived by our power companies and some of our politicians.
VOTE NO ON AMENDMENT #1

Remember Florida, we already voted into law our rights to "Free Power!"

 


 

What kind of a Female, Vote's for Donald Trump?


What kind of a Female, Vote's for Donald Trump?

I was born and brought up in a matriarch society by matriarch elders so,

"I do not understand."

How can a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, sister, daughter or any female of voting age justify voting for a (man), that from his own mouth, Twitter and Facebook account, Television, Newspapers, and Radio, talk the way he has been talking, writing, and saying for

"All of his Life?"
 
What are you thinking?

The only thing in the media about Hillary Clinton,
is the empty lies,
even from the FBI,
about Emails,
something I must remind you,
"Every politician ever in the country's political system,"

has had and used
their own Emails to write correspondents!

The only answer I have been getting from other females is,
 
"Women are jealous of other women with success!"

I say,

"GET OVER YOURSELVES and GET REAL WOMEN!"

What kind of a man,
hearing and seeing, this person's filthy, foul mouth,
about
his wife, mother, grandmother great-grandmother daughter, aunt and cousin
votes for him?
