Regarding the origination of the word Iroquois,
Another matter that surprised many contemporary observers was the Iroquois' sophisticated use of oratory. Their excellence with the spoken word, among other attributes, often caused Colden and others to compare the Iroquois to the Romans and Greeks. The French use of the term Iroquois to describe the confederacy was itself related to this oral tradition; it came from the practice of ending their orations with the two words hiro and kone. The first meant \"I say\" or \"I have said\" and the second was an exclamation of joy or sorrow according to the circumstances of the speech. The two words, joined and made subject to French pronunciation, became Iroquois. The English were often exposed to the Iroquois' oratorical skills at eighteenth-century treaty councils.
The people of the Six Nations, also known by the French term, Iroquois Confederacy, call themselves the Hau de no sau nee (ho dee noe sho nee) meaning People Building a Long House. Located in the northeastern region of North America, originally the Six Nations was five and included the Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas, and Senecas. The sixth nation, the Tuscaroras, migrated into Iroquois country in the early eighteenth century from present day North Carolina. Together these peoples comprise the oldest living participatory democracy on earth. Their story, and governance truly based on the consent of the governed, contains a great deal of life-promoting intelligence for those of us not familiar with this area of American history.
The original United States representative democracy, fashioned by such central authors as Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, drew much inspiration from this confederacy of nations. In our present day, we can benefit immensely, in our quest to establish anew a government truly dedicated to all life's liberty and happiness much as has been practiced by the Six Nations for over 800 hundred years.
Does that answer your question BUB????Yes I am very proud and knowledgeable of my culture and traditions.
Glad to be a part of this place. Me like it here...

THE COLD IS NOT MY ENEMY The cold is not my enemy for I have adapted
The cold is not my enemy for I am myst
The cold is not my enemy for I have eons I've slept
The cold is not my enemy for I'm a survivor
The cold is not my enemy for time has no meaning to me
The cold is not my enemy for I am cunning
The cold is not my enemy for darkness is my friend
The cold is not my enemy for I've consumed whole planets
The cold is not my enemy for I have besieged your world
The cold is not my enemy for I will survive...

Where/what is that from?? Sounds like the mantra of someone preparing to do a winter over on The Ice.
I am 1/8 Metis Indian from my Father's side. My grandmother was born in northern Michigan in 1908. She is still with us.

Perhaps you should take a visit to the other threads? We'd love to have some poety posted on here. I don't know anyone else here who writes it.

I brought it up to Big Head Todd and he said that I could post shit on the mass media thread.
Eh, i'll see. But I have my shit on my blog and PowWows.com already. Just seems a little redundant. Plus if people want to read my stuff. They can go there. http://blog.myspace.com/n8tive_doc
So if you want to read some killer poetry and read some funny indian jokes and edge-a-ma-kate your selves about Naive Issues. Den well here's a great opportunity...
