Two great warriors, four to be brothers, forced to be enemies.

Sometimes I wonder what Iroquois left in you.

Destined to lead their people in a battle that would change their nation forever.

There's Brosnan, and from the last of the Mohicans, Eric Schwei,

and West Duty in a TNT original motion picture, the Broken Chain.

Next on TNT.

We proudly present a TNT original motion picture.

When the white men came from Europe to North America, they found many different nations of native peoples,

each with their own fiercely prized identity, their own customs, and their own hunting grounds.

Often these nations warred upon one another.

But in the area now known as New York and Pennsylvania,

the British and the French fur traders came upon a unique confederacy of six different nations who lived together in peace.

These six nations were known as the Iroquois.

By 1750, the French and British were headed towards war over control of this new world.

Whoever won the allegiance of the mighty Iroquois would gain a vital advantage in the war to come.

A war in which to prize to be won was nothing less than the whole of North America.

We are the Seneca or Nada altogether and on Daga,

Sagar, Huscarora, and Mohawk.

Together we are the people of the Six Nations.

The English have always come to us

with their gifts of muskets and knives and liquor

to win the allegiance of our warriors.

As a boy, I was fascinated by these white men

with their strange customs.

I thought they came in friendship, but I was wrong.

The night before our meeting with the British,

our ceremonial fire burned bright.

Little did I know that the outcome of this meeting

would affect our children and our children's children

for all the years to come.

I am called Pion de Nege among the Mohawk nation,

but I became known to the world as the great horseshoe,

Joseph Brand.

That night I sat with my clan brother

and best friend, Loha Heyo.

We were joined by a powerful man, Sir William Johnson,

the Indian agent for the British King George.

Unlike other white men, Johnson treated our people

with affection and respect and would

be a great influence in my life.

As we sat before the fire, Seth, our chief, once again

told us the story of the peacemaker.

Long ago gave us the great law of peace,

which binds the Six Nations together.

And Seth told us that if the Iroquois ever

warred against each other, the great peace would be destroyed

and we would be reduced to poverty and despair.

That night, Loha Heyo and I listened to the same words,

but we heard in them different meanings

that would always be so.

Oh, no.

Whoo.

Whoo.

Whoo.

Whoo.

Whoo.

Whoo.

Oh, I'm standing up to the floor.

Oh, how are you?

Oh, how are you?

Oh, how are you?

Whoo.

Whoo.

Whoo.

Whoo.

Whoo.

Loha Heyo.

Are you all right?

I think so.

Well, they got past us.

They're winning by two.

You don't want to go back and tell everybody

we lost to the Senecas.

I saw him.

Him.

Who?

It was the peacemaker.

The peacemaker.

I did.

It was him.

Monos yonniebo.

I heard you.

The peacemaker.

You must hit your head on the rock.

Let's go.

The peacemaker said you'd come back someday.

When the Confederacy is in danger.

To say it to people.

Is the Confederacy in danger?

I don't know.

Maybe that's what this council's about.

The great father.

He jorged the second by the grace of God.

Of Great Britain.

France and Ireland.

Welcomes his brothers of the great confederacy

of the six nations to this meeting place.

And with this string of wampum.

I wipe away your tears and take sorrow from your hearts.

That we may speak freely.

Within the sanctuary of the great covenant chain of friendship.

Why can't he simply come to the point?

Johnson.

What is this covenant chain of friendship business anyway?

A sacred ritual, my friend.

The covenant chain has been bound to the six nations of the Confederacy for centuries.

Fortunately for our purposes, they extend it to any of whom they count as a friend.

The great father further implores me.

Pen my dear fellow.

You should smear a touch of more hot bear, at least on that tender flesh.

It keeps the perbast, it's away.

You don't see the air class smash net themselves like that now, do you?

I shouldn't fancy the stench of bear grease on me any more than I do on your heathen.

I'll take you in six.

Good afternoon, Fann.

Chain of friendship between his colonies and the great and fearless brethren of the six nations

shall be forged to a new brightness.

And together we shall stand against the French.

Your eyes are all glazed over by those wagon loads of clotted kettles.

We have nothing to gain by finding ourselves to the British and everything to lose.

Would you make a treaty with the French?

Mother Gashina, the English outnumber the French five to one.

English?

What is an Englishman in the forest without a cynical or mohawk to hold his hand?

The English has better trade goods.

It's always trade goods and liquor.

The strength of the Confederacy is a not-being dominated by either side.

Let them go on each other's throats.

But I think you like the Englishman's gold that comes from the sale of the lands?

Who are your chiefs to talk about selling the land on us, Esquiana?

You cannot sell what the creator has given.

But how are we to stop the white settlers?

More of them every season, swarming over the eastern mountains like locusts from the British colonies.

I don't know.

But we're the ones who must decide.

We must find a way for the sake of them children and for the generations yet to come.

I'm prepared to offer you a thousand pieces of eights.

Purchase all of the lands along the Susquehanna.

It all got to be cleared, cultivated, and the vlogmas.

It must be planted before my family sees one single shilling.

A thousand pieces of eights, not a pound of ore, tell them that.

Grandpa, I heard you lost to the Senecas.

It was close.

But to the Senecas?

Mother Gishina asked me to tell you that the clan mothers will speak with you before the sun goes down.

All right, all right, boy.

You are now. We have business here.

See you out there.

You know what?

I have to be a my husband.

Well, we disagreed. But I have compromised.

Now I'll pass on to him what he needs to tell the chiefs.

Yo, yo.

I'm here.

Subu wah wah nah. Subu wah wah nah.

I have spoken with my sisters from all the nations of the Confederacy to come to a sense of the people.

Take this message to the great council.

First, regarding the Treaty of Friendship with the English, you may formalize such a treaty.

The clan mothers have given me a sense of the people, and I bring it to your chiefs gathered here.

About the Treaty of Friendship with the English, the clan mothers find the trade goods acceptable.

You are free to enter into such a treaty, but their caution that friendship does not have to mean alliance with the British in their war against the French.

Yo.

Yo.

The future of the crown columns lies in expansion into the Western territories.

But as of now, no single colony is strong enough to extend itself into Indian bands except inch by inch.

But if we were united, we might easily by joint force establish one or more new colonies, wherever we should judge it necessary, or advantageous to the interest of the whole.

We would do well to study the government of the Iroquois.

Would you suggest we adopt the petticoat government?

I hear the Iroquois women lead their braves and chieftains around by the nose.

Oh, man.

The Iroquois women play a dominant role in governing, but the system works rather marvelously where, and the men do not appear to be in the least emasculated in the process.

Let's go on, frankly.

I might borrow a symbolism from our new allies of the Confederacy of the Six Nations.

What does it take to break a single arrow?

Nothing.

But bound together.

Unbreakable.

Blood, plunder, and glory's in the air, mother.

You couldn't hold the young men back.

No matter what.

And for the Englishman's gold, we should turn our backs on the lands of the Susquehanna forever.

Oh, I tell you, our children, our grandchildren's children are gonna call us.

I was running against you.

I am sorry.

But come now, I've been a staunch friend for many years to your people.

My people.

The Indian blood and Irish blood has run the same river.

No, it's the same troubles at the hands of the British.

I've been your protector for many years that you are not aware of.

Still.

What's done is done, mother.

And there will be splendid times ahead.

Farewell.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Gashina.

I can't take a scowling wife back to kind of Dari.

Ah!

Hi, Taeon de Niga.

Got my first British musket.

And I also took a British name, Joseph Blint.

We took up the white man's battle.

It was my first taste of blood.

The French were well fortified.

The cannons roared over my head.

The British musket answered from below.

Screams of the dead and dying only fired my raging blood.

On that day, I realized that I would be a warrior among my people.

Oh, dear!

I can't take the horse, may I?

Stop, wait up!

Wait up!

I'm too far ahead of your neck to your bloody salad.

You want to be like that idiot British general down there?

Ha!

Stay low.

Go well, I'll find you fresh once.

Then we'll lay the hell down on their back sides.

I want you to fight like fools losing their lives as the French defenders fought like men possessed.

And while I was learning of my taste and talent for battle, my friend, Loha Heo, was at home schooling himself for a very different future.

We are the chiefs of the Confederacy of the Six Nations.

Trump will be far and mighty!

We hold, in our hand, all of the lands and people from the St. Lawrence and Great Lakes west to the distant Mississippi.

We are proud people, free and independent.

Must we raise our entire hand against our enemies?

No!

Under the figure is enough!

Don't ever do that again!

Oh, the great Sesha, who have become the chief speaker of the Confederacy.

I was practicing! There's nothing to laugh about!

You... you don't even know our warriors will be turning from the battle of Carillon!

Loha Heo! Loha Heo! I like your call!

Loha Heo!

Joseph, did you carry fetch me to carry off?

I was most killed but no victory. Did you get that cold?

Joseph!

Oh, no!

Oh!

Order!

Aaah!

We are too few to win. Too many to die.

We are too many to die.

The spell which I would learn to regret in time.

You have a little more heartlet.

You'll have your way, won't you?

It's not but a crease from that Frenchy bullet

and still you work your savage spell over it is a buttermontal wound.

Ah, glorious, Ammon. Glorious, me, oh boy.

Joseph, I was a song beloved of Irish warrior kings.

My own ancestors have been told.

Ammon, next to another one, me boy.

This one, listen to all of you, my splendid sheeptans.

This one I want to attribute to a young warrior

who fought so well by our sides as first time in battle.

I am the challenger. You'll be your chief before too many moons.

Joseph.

I own the nigger.

I own the nigger.

No one.

Oh, it's on your mind, Joseph, tie in the nigger.

I want to take your granddaughter.

Oh, it's on your mind, Joseph, tie in the nigger.

I won't.

I want to take your granddaughter to win the nigger,

Catherine as a wife.

Catherine.

Well, you're back planning.

She's turtle planning.

And someday she's probably going to have my seat on a council to plan mothers.

Someday I will be a great chief of the six nations.

Oh, is that so?

I won't have something to say about that, you know.

Of course.

Only if the clan mothers permitted it to be so.

Catherine, full wife.

I'll have to think about it.

Oh, is there something else? Joseph Tyandenega.

Sure.

No.

Mother Gashina, look at the dress mama made for me.

Oh, my.

Doesn't that look nice?

Oh, it's good.

Mother Gashina.

Well?

Well, well, why should she have you?

Because I'm grandson of Hendrick, son of Powerless.

I will become a chief someday. You know that.

But with Catherine for wife, I can become speaker of the chiefs.

My husband is speaker of the chiefs.

But time passes.

Keep picking, Catherine. They're ranting the young men around to see you.

He's a grandfather of all of you.

Surely you must like one of them better than the other.

Ah, Joseph. He's so...

...dance him and he's strong.

And it's Joseph.

Oh, no.

No, I heal.

He makes me laugh.

No, I heal then.

Well, no. I mean...

I like them both.

Grandma, I don't know how to choose.

Well, my girl, you might not have to choose.

What do you mean?

Catherine, they both go up against the French in just a few days' time.

Now, if one of them doesn't come back...

But if they do both come back, I want you to come to me with your choice before we do.

Wait!

Come!

Stop!

One to another!

Keep the fire!

One to another!

One!

Read it!

Stop!

I'm not going to do anything.

General Prenoa is dead, gentlemen.

I am assuming command.

You?

I hold a king's commission as colonel at the Indian, sir.

That makes me a ranking officer.

And the man who challenges that regardless of rank,

I'll have shot for insubordination.

Why, I inquire, colonel, what you know British army field traitors.

Bloody much.

I was a carry-on, sir, under General Amber Crombie.

I'll be damned if I hear that shooting prayer again.

Now then, gentlemen.

Here are your orders.

Return, have me fire.

We must continue to seize the Fort Niagara.

Go on, be fine.

Word has it that French are sending up a support crew from Detroit.

May I require we'll give us plenty of warning.

Together we'll put an attack to the west on half a day's notice.

Do you feel faster?

Closer yet.

Closer yet.

Closer yet.

Closer yet.

What's that signal?

I'm sorry I forgot.

When there almost did a British, Johnson will fire.

Then we dropped down and got our Frenchies retreat.

What was that signal?

What happened?

They Covenant resources.

Representing the enemy for free.

ind Alchemist.

Stop!

Hold on, gentlemen!

Give me some bloody help!

Get out of here!

Get out of here!

Get out of here!

I'm bringing the French flag down.

The British couldn't do that without us.

Yes, we did it.

Look!

Run into British flag up.

Oh, step your back!

You brought me your pants in French cold!

Joseph!

I'm fine.

I heard you saved Joseph's life.

It's a good boy, real good.

But if you think there's going to help between you and my cat's ring,

there's nothing I can do about that.

No, not that.

Joseph will make her a good husband.

Oh, I hope.

What then?

Oh, serious! This is a good day!

We saw the French flag fought Niagara.

Great victory.

Is it true they will all go home across the sea?

The French? I think so.

If the French go home, why do the British need us?

Say what's in your mind.

They won't need us.

And if they don't, how will we protect our lands from them?

The chiefs all talk about the Six Nations.

Free and independent.

That was before the white man came.

The French and the British.

And now, more and more, lying, cheating white settlers.

Paulie!

From my good friend, the Reverend Wheeler can't get.

He's started a school for the children of the Red Man.

Says he thinks a little strap and gospel Calvin is book learning

might turn them into useful interpreters.

Might be right.

I'm thinking of sending Joseph there.

Joseph?

But we spoke about him becoming a chief.

Yeah, I know why not.

Besides, my little brother is thinking a marriage.

Hmm?

Who?

Catherine!

He was still now all that can wait.

The boy's got a gift for leadership, Molly.

He's proved that in battle.

For the Christian education who knows how far he might go.

I'm a machina.

A machina.

Hmm?

I've made my choice, grandma.

Joseph.

No, I'm here.

Mm-hmm.

He's the one you love.

I don't know.

Sometimes, sometimes I think I love them both.

They seem to me to be two sides of the same thing.

But you choose who I am.

Because it makes you laugh.

No.

No.

Because I think...

I think it will become a chief of the Six Nations.

Oh, it's possible.

And if he is to become a chief,

then it is more important for him to be guided in the ways of...

of the family and love.

And the great love, peace.

It's more important for him than for Brad.

Brad won't have any trouble marrying it.

After girls are in love with him already.

And the other half won't admit it.

But he is a warrior.

Mm.

Do you think...

Do you think he will ever give more than a thought?

To the true meaning of the great peace?

Or the fate of the people?

You're going to have to put her behind you.

You're not going to be happy around here, not now.

By the time you get back from that white men's school,

things will be easier here.

That's not a good reason to go.

No, it's not.

But Joseph, one day we're going to have to fight a great battle

to defend the land from those white people.

Joseph Trianianny.

A leader of the six nations

needs to know as much as possible about an enemy like that.

And that is a very good reason for you to go.

But you must be careful not to become so fond of their ways

that you ever forget who and what you are.

We ask all the spirits here to be witness.

And we bring our children together in marriage.

We are gathered on this special day.

She gives thanks to Mother Earth for all that she gives us.

For all the food that she gives us to live.

For all the plant life, for the water.

We give thanks to the bird spirit.

That's who the poor sacred twins.

That they be witness as we bring our two children together today.

Do you believe your granddaughter, Katherine, is ready for this marriage?

I believe she's ready.

Do you believe your son, Noah, he is ready for this marriage?

A very good marriage.

Hey!

Hey!

What in hell is on this to be a suit and let up there?

The Frenchmen, horn years ago.

Eagles, there's a flock of them about today.

Eagles?

They're in Egypt.

They know that they're sacred to the Iroquois.

And my block house is a place for soldiers.

Not a perch for pot-shirting for sutted half-wits.

You're in a rotten temple today, uncle.

I was mere enough of that, enough!

Go!

Go on, it's not your sut, up!

Molly! Molly!

The curse of a drunken nephew.

Put those good news here. Good news in this letter.

That's when the old teacher, Reverend Wheeler, this is...

With Joseph Brandt, I am well pleased.

I find him a promising youth.

I find him a sprightly genius, singular modesty and a serious term.

There's more, listen.

He has indeed himself to me by his amiable deportment.

And his laudable thirst after progress and learning.

I shall return him to you with considerable sadness.

Do you hear that, Molly?

Joseph is coming home.

Oh, Lord!

Is this strange thing?

Those children were babies when I went away to school.

When I returned, they found me strange.

Maybe even frightening in my fine English clothes.

I was changed.

I read English spilled from my tongue.

I read English books.

I had taken many of their English ways.

Yet three years does not turn a seedling into a great cypress.

Or a mohawk warrior into an Englishman.

Nor does it heal a deep wound of the heart.

Say good, Joseph.

Say good, Catherine.

Say good.

Joseph.

Where'd you get that coat?

It's gonna go out.

He's a...

What's this?

Our son.

Should have brought him a gift.

He already has something to hear.

His name is Joseph.

Say good, Joseph.

Did you see many white settlers?

Why you own Connecticut?

Yes.

They squabble among themselves.

They defy their British king over taxation.

Would they fight their great father over this taxation?

Ah.

Tears what the white settlers do.

I heard on the trail there was trouble in the west.

Michelle Nee, Adele Ware and Yodawa.

They're driving off the white settlers.

Sounds like they've killed many.

Sure, that's true.

The Wampum bells don't lie.

They said they follow a great old Dawa chief on the act.

Dawa, the British will crush them and the Delaware.

But they are not of the six nations, so what does it matter?

It does matter.

There is more suffering.

And every day hatred for the British grows.

Every day more promises are broken.

Our brother, the Seneca, at the western door.

Some of them have raised the hatchet against the white colonialists.

The Seneca fight the British colonists there?

If what we hear is true.

Then they are fools.

I know how strong the British army is now.

You have to cross the mountains to see.

Have you been to Johnson Hall?

Not yet.

Johnson has asked to meet with the great council.

The Yodawa, the Shawnee, the Delaware,

have buried their hatchets into the heads of innocent British subjects.

People with whom, by treaty, the mighty six nations have promised to live in peace.

Therefore, I recommend to the wise sessions of the people

that they consider these treacheries an insult to the sacred covenant chain

of the wise nations of the people and the British.

And I would suggest that you show us proof of your affection for the great brother King George III

by declaring war on these old dawah, these sony, these Delaware.

And that you send war parties to the Ohio.

The Punish, these upstart chiefs and whoever may follow them.

You.

You.

You're wrong.

So will you.

What has he done to you, Joseph?

He's put English words on your tongue.

He's put English gold in your pocket for your fine English things.

And he's close.

Sometimes I wonder what Iroquois left in you.

Me?

I am going to fight.

As the great council of the people of the long house has decreed.

Because Sir William has tricked them again.

You know so much more than the chiefs.

I know what I know.

And I know that you are too devoted to Sir William for your own gun.

Be careful what you say.

Joseph, he is their creature.

Then stay.

Joseph, do not draw the blood of the Seneca.

The great peace must not be broken.

The British were our allies.

So their enemies, the Delaware, must be stopped.

But I knew better than to spill the blood of the Seneca.

The blood of the Six Nations.

I would not be the one to break the great peace.

Aah!

It was our custom to take his prisoners, the men and women we captured.

But it was never a custom that sat right with me.

And they're in the Delaware village.

I found a woman who would change my feelings about that custom.

Aah!

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

With my people,

our mothers have taught us to bring into our homes, those who have been captured.

Bring them into our lives.

Have them come as one with our nations.

Share our home fires.

It is hard for you.

What our ancient mothers have given us.

I see that.

I want you to be happy.

I want to leave you happy.

I want that more than I can find words to speak.

I want you to be happy.

There was no Santa Claus there.

So none were killed.

The great peace is not been broken.

We did as the British asked, and punished their enemies the Delaware.

Then we looked to Sir William and the British to keep their side of the promise.

To stop their settlers from taking our precious lands.

As the years slipped by, we could only hope that the peace would continue.

We are now in the

Jerusalem.

We are now in the

Jerusalem.

We are now in the

Jerusalem.

We are now in the

Jerusalem.

We are now in the

Jerusalem.

Let's get us some red meat.

Let him go. I want to find out where he goes.

Go. Go. Go.

Take this out.

Redkins! Redkins!

I got an arm in town! I killed him!

Come on!

Get the weapon!

Hurry!

Go after him!

Quick! Load up!

Get the weapon!

Come on!

Let's go!

I'll be here.

I'll be here.

Let's go.

We are now in the Jerusalem.

What's up,

my son?

My son?

My son?

Thank you very much.

Motherforschine?

Thank you.

Thank you.

You are welcome.

They have come to offer the condolences of the great father and all his children.

Chief Sirth was a wise leader.

Sit down.

My husband was killed by white squatters on our own hunting grounds.

Despite the royal proclamation, the one that you said would prohibit him forever.

I'm settling across the great mountains.

Motherforschine, I have reported his death to General Gage.

He'll do nothing.

Why don't you leave?

I'll leave you alone.

I'll leave you alone.

I'll leave you alone.

I'll leave you alone.

I'll leave you alone.

I'll leave you alone.

I'll leave you alone.

I'll leave you alone, nothing.

Why don't you English, lords and foster, Tricky?

Surveling the colonies.

So all the General sends his muskets to Boston, not the places he has no idea where they will end.

That's his concern.

It is also mine, man.

But you tell me,

do you find justice in the colonists or the English taking away the land?

Mother Gashina.

I'm here trying to keep two worlds from colliding, but they will collide.

I can assure you.

And what can your people do? Nothing.

The proclamation is just a...

a statement it is not a treaty line.

Where do the Great Mountains end exactly, Mother? Yes.

The people know.

But the colonists don't. It is not on paper.

We have belonged to this land since the beginning.

Your bubble claims me nothing to the white man. You must do it their way.

They've asked me to establish a...

a cheety language world.

Officially a teeth to the proclamation.

Another treaty.

Which will require more concessions of land.

But protection from all the Iroquois nations.

I think we know too well your protection, great father.

I don't deserve to be treated like your enemy.

I've always had your best interest in my heart.

Have you no loyalty in return?

My loyalty is worth as always.

With the people.

As is mine.

My children are of your people.

But they grow in a new world, Mother.

And only those who can survive when it will grow stronger.

Nothing will be handed to us here. Nothing comes easy.

It is a fierce fight.

I know how you used to think.

You are a fighter.

Oh, Johnson, see what you have become.

Just go.

Go.

From there to the Ohio River.

At the mouth of the Tennessee.

And to Fort Pippen along the Allegheny to Kitany.

I beg you.

I beg you to hear me the name of Mother Kashina.

Who was too ill to speak for herself.

This is a treaty which many of our people wish to have.

A treaty.

A treaty that separates us from the land.

From the Delaware to the Unadilla.

To what run almost as far as Fort Stanwicks.

That is land.

That is land we do not even claim to own.

It was given to us by the Creator.

The Six Nations must not be divided.

They must stand together.

The time is near when the people of the longhouse who regain everything that we have lost.

All of the lands that have been sold or buttered away or stolen spoiled so there is no

more life in the earth.

How did you come by this belief?

A vision.

Very powerful vision brought to me by the peacemaker.

I know.

For you truth lies in solid things.

Musket.

A suit of fine English clothes, books, all of their words and accountings of their gold.

Don't tell me what my truth is.

Just because I take some things from the white man's world, it doesn't change my heart.

I am still Tion de Nege.

Tion de Nege.

There will be a war between the colonies and the great father.

That was in your vision?

If the people of the longhouse stand apart in this war, the colonists and the British will

bleed each other to death.

That won't happen.

If there is a war, the British will win.

And what difference does that make to us?

The white man.

Any white man.

It's like a serpent with a big belly that he's everything in his path.

He will destroy us if we don't force him out of the land.

If that is what you saw in your vision, I don't believe it came from the peacemaker.

Wait and see.

But Tion de Nege, you and I weren't born to be enemies.

You were born to be brothers.

That was also in your vision?

Hmm.

That's in my heart.

Step forward, Lord.

Take your pledge to the clan mothers and the chiefs of the Confederacy.

I will live in accordance with the laws of the great peace and exercise judgment in all

affairs.

Brothers, receive these strings of wampum as evidence of his pledge.

We now place upon you the sacred emblem of the deer's adlers.

You are now a chief and a servant of the people.

The Adawa and the shiny have taken up their hatches once again.

All it is in blood has been let on the banks of the Ohio each passing day.

Season after season, more white settlers crossed the Great Mountains in search of land, power

land, age and failing health weighed heavily on Sir William Johnson.

And since Sir William was powerless to stop the white invasion, Luja Hiyo came to see

him as an enemy.

To cast from among you these foolish voices of discontent, the great father has been patient

with his children.

But here now he accuses me.

I do accuse you, Luja Hiyo.

No way you have Johnson.

I accuse you.

Do you think that this bloodshed in the West is a thing I can raise at my command?

Let's start in a cooking fire in the forest.

No.

This killing rises up out of the earth, out of the forest and rivers of our lands because

of what you are doing to the people of the long house.

What did you think would happen?

You gave us the Treaty of Fort Stanwicks.

You knew the white settlers would not stay within the treaty boundaries.

You knew it would mean more killing and you knew that the white squatters would cry for

punishment and those cries would become demands for more lands yet.

And knowing all this, you still summoned the chiefs of the Great Council to your house

and mouth these empty words and accusations.

Uncle.

Uncle.

Uncle.

Johnson.

Johnson.

Oh, it's been a friend of the people.

Always.

You must take control.

You must guide them.

Oh.

What?

What?

What?

You taught me to find ways of the British and he sought to protect the Confederacy of

the Six Nations.

I mourned his loss and feared what the future would bring.

Oh, you were destroyed.

You were destroyed.

I meant to.

It was our friend.

Now who do the people have to be such a friend?

The women fear more pain will come without him.

I'm afraid to.

In the sacred words of the peace, it says that in a time of great trouble, the peacemaker

will come again to save the people.

But you are not the peacemaker.

No, I am lo hai yo.

The peacemaker did not say under what name he would come.

There would be a war between the British and the colonists.

As before with the British and the French, the Six Nations would be pulled in two directions.

I believed we could only side with the powerful British that we had to wait for the clan mothers

to have their say.

Those are the Oneida?

You do well, piggy.

You know all the nations of the Iroquois now.

And that Pearson Hardy man, he is the Oneida chief?

He is Red Wolf, the leader of their war party.

He wants the Six Nations to fight on the side of the rebel colonists.

And you, Thay on the Negra, always want the people to fight on the side of the British.

And how are you thinking, lo hai yo?

Perhaps I am thinking in the middle.

Come.

You must join the council.

Father Catherine, I have come from the great council of the chiefs of the Six Nations.

You hear the wisdom of the clan mothers?

The clan mothers have come to a sense of the people.

And we ask you, Thay on the Negra, to carry our work to the great council.

First, on the invitation of the colonists to our chiefs to come to Philadelphia, the

place of the colonial's revolution, we find no harm in sending such a delegation.

And enter into no alliances without the consent of all the people.

I think it will do harm.

The rebels want you to go to Philadelphia for one reason.

Of course, to enlist us against the British.

What we do, what we let them think we're going to do are very different things.

We must ally ourselves with the British.

Now, while we know that they need us.

When they no longer need us again?

Because they no longer need us after we help them conquer the French.

Listen to me.

I have a letter for my old teacher.

Listen.

He talks of this army of rebel colonists.

There are sometimes little more than a rabble.

Farmers, shopkeepers, old men and boys.

Women organized, poorly led by men with no professional experience.

Some of them in weapons as old as this gout didn't foot of mine.

Is going to win your great war with the British?

Joseph, just tell me one thing.

What is this gout?

You laugh.

You cling to your vision and you laugh.

You must not go to war on the side of the British.

You told me once that a man of the people is a free man and he may fight with or against

whom he chooses.

Joseph.

Joseph.

What?

Trust me.

My brothers are the six nations.

Americans.

Our colony of Massachusetts has been invaded by British troops.

Her people shot.

Her house is burned.

We have more in common with you than you might think of.

I have long sought to incorporate the principles of your Confederacy into a plan for a union

among the colonies.

Most important of all, individual freedom and a great council in which no one boy speaks

a total authority.

More than what?

I have used your symbol for strength in unity of bound arrows to sway my brothers.

I hope my words will be received.

We are much aware we must have the friendship of the six nations if our purpose is in opposing

the crown that will be achieved.

Your words were good.

Good.

Then perhaps we can speak more later.

Well done, Frank.

When you do know your savagels, thank you.

They were good words, smooth words like winter ice and a lodgepole.

But smooth words won't stop them in the British from believing each other to death.

Thank you, thank you.

It's going to be over so...

I waited in the long house for the birth of our first child.

I was filled with excitement.

The time stood still as my beloved Peggy struggled.

Yes, it'd be over so.

I'm not going to be here.

I'm not going to be here.

I'm not going to be here.

I'm not going to be here.

I'm not going to be here.

I'm not going to be here.

I'm not going to be here.

I'm not going to be here.

I'm not going to be here.

Joseph!

The war where the colonies has begun.

Trust me, Joseph.

It'll be over any year.

The Royal Navy has been here.

Joseph!

Joseph!

Joseph!

Joseph!

The war where the colonies has begun.

Trust me, Joseph.

The Royal Navy has blockaded their parts.

Once we isolate Washington's army between our forces,

coming down from the north...

If all goes as planned.

It will, Joseph.

I promise.

And Joseph.

I am going to commission you as an officer.

In the army of our glorious monarch, King George the Third.

I was proud to be a captain on the British army.

I let my men both read in the White O'Like.

I was a Mohawk war chief and an English officer.

I was a man like no other in the British army,

and I felt we must win this war to save my people.

Say it, go, say it, go.

It's going to go.

I didn't think you'd accept it.

I didn't think you'd accept it.

I didn't think you'd accept it in the British.

I can't hear it to listen.

I listened very well.

Bagel!

The neutrality of wearing thin would be all nighter.

Yes, sir.

Some of them sympathize with the rebels.

Some of them even fight on their side,

even though we have warned them of the danger to bite in the longhouse.

Even as I tried to warn you.

Joseph, would it have been so hard to wait?

For what?

For your vision to come to pass, we will win this war in six months.

We?

The British then. Look.

General Howe is coming up the Hudson from New York, and we march west.

We'll take forth Stanlix in a week.

And when we all meet at Albany, we'll crack the rebels.

They cannot.

Good. With all that force, they won't need the hatchets of the Six Nations.

And where would that leave the Six Nations when it's all over?

What will your precious neutrality do to the people then?

You told me once.

You believe that we were meant to be brothers, not enemies.

Loha hiyu. Look at me.

As your brother, I ask you to come with us.

Not fight. You don't have to fight yet.

Only be with us.

Sleep with your words tonight.

Perhaps our answer will come in my dreams.

I like your haircut, brother.

Hate that titer waving the flag.

Why don't you get a little bit of a hug?

Hate that titer waving the flag.

Why don't you get a little bit of a hug?

Loha hiyu. Wake up. Come outside.

What is it?

A relief force that the rebel colonist is coming up from the south.

Hundreds of them. We must stop them.

We didn't have to come here to fight.

No. Well, now the fight is coming to you.

No, Hahew.

How many women and children are with you?

We don't have time to get them out.

The rebels will count everybody here.

As an enemy, we must stop them.

All right, Joseph.

One fight.

No.

Loha.

It's too late.

No, it's not.

We cannot fight our brothers of the Six Nations.

The great peace must not be broken.

Loha, you!

Loha, you!

Lfun Awesome!

Whatea interested in?

Ah.

Violin!

Loha, l

Lohaheel was right.

We had warred upon our Iroquois brothers,

and the great peace had been broken.

But this killing came because of the white man.

And I was consumed with avenging Lohaheel's death.

And so I put the colonial settlements to the torch,

from our riskinade to the Susquehanna, Wyoming Valley,

and whose town German flats.

I became known as the Monster Grant,

the best fighting weapon the British had.

And where I left destruction and terror in my week,

the colonists grew angrier and stronger.

The destruction of the British had.

And where I left destruction and terror in my week,

the colonists grew angrier and stronger.

They destroyed my people's villages

and burned our sacred long houses.

And in the end, they were too strong.

And the fire was turned against us fourfold.

And my beloved British were nowhere to be found.

Come on, Joseph!

They all left the strikes.

Bloody damn colonists.

Shacked and burned.

We saved the house, Joseph.

Bloody flossed the fire.

She was magnificent.

She's inside.

But, Joseph, she's...

More water to the idiots!

Where are the remnants of the river?

I...

Oh, wait.

Oh, wait.

I'm the native.

We're putting out the fires.

The worst is over.

The worst.

This is what our love for the British has brought us.

Fire and destruction.

The worst.

The worst is just beginning.

The British betrayed our trust.

We fought the friends and the colonists for them.

But they didn't keep their side at the covenant.

Where are they now?

When they burned our homes,

our corn fields.

Mmm.

And so it happened, ripped apart by two mighty forces.

A great piece of the Confederacy of the Six Nations was broken.

And the prophecy of the peacemaker was fulfilled.

We were reduced to poverty and despair.

The British kingdom took much from us.

And we were wrong to allow it.

But the colonial government hasn't left us anything either.

Just small pieces of land to the west.

They have devoured our earth.

Oh, Ha'heel was right.

He warned us.

He would have found us away to the great peace.

But I...

I bear full responsibility.

For these great ruins.

Yes, you do.

As do our fathers.

And theirs before them.

All the way back to the chiefs

who welcomed the first white traders into our midst.

And then those later who traded the first pieces of land

for metalhose and knives and liquor.

But Joseph, even your shoulders aren't big enough to bear all the responsibility.

There are those of us who would divide our ancient sacred fire.

And carry it to Canada.

Where we can find a future for our people.

We have brothers there.

We could rebuild our long houses there.

How many will join me to carry our half of the fire in search of a new home?

Lettuce.

Tie on the naga.

Lead us to Canada.

A great peace was shaken.

Our grand council nearly destroyed.

I thought it was right to honor the treaties we made with the British.

But in the end, I was wrong.

My people and I divided the ceremonial wampum belts in sacred council fire.

As we turned our faces to Canada,

we left behind a new nation.

The United States of America.

A nation that was created by the United States of America.

A nation that was created in our image.

And that was paid for with the blood of the year of our people.

But the people of the long house will survive.

As long as we keep the tree of peace growing.

And the spirit of the council fire bright.

For it is a spirit and a fire that must never be allowed to die.

And as long as the people believe in it,

they shall live on through all the ages.

And they shall have the sanction of the holder of the heavens forever.

The United States of America

The United States of America

Joseph Brandt led his followers to Canada,

arriving in 1785.

And settling in what is now the province of Ontario.

He died on November 24th 1807 at the age of 64.

In modern times, the central fire has been rekindled

in Unandaga Lake in central New York state.

Where the six nations regularly gather

to guide the affairs of their people.

The Iroquois have preserved their traditional way of life

by passing the customs and ways of the ancestors

down through the generations.

To this day, the people of the long house

remain united in the spirit of the great peace.
