• W814903170 abstract "Ha-sa-no-an-da. Leading Name. That is how Seneca name of boy, born in 1828 on a small, threatened Indian reservation in western New York, is most often rendered in English. Open Book and Reader have also been proposed as alternative translations and are just as appropriate. His family, Parkers (a last name taken by Ha-sa-no-an-da's father from a British officer who had been adopted by Senecas)--though he would later describe them in his never-completed autobiography as poor but honest Indians--was a respected one and well-off by Native standards. His father owned a sawmill, and his mother was equivalent of royalty. She was great-granddaughter of Handsome Lake, prophet, and a grandniece of Red Jacket, famous orator. She was also an important figure in Wolf Clan to which her son belonged, since clan is inherited through mother's side. Ha-sa-no-an-da, like most Native people of his generation, knew exact date of his birth. So, he said, comparing himself to character of Topsy in Uncle Tom's Cabin, who also never had a birthday, he was, therefore, never related or depressed on any special day of year. I've always loved it that he used that literary reference. Like that first name he was given, it's an indication of how linked his life was to literature and storytelling. Writing became a central part of his life in more ways than one. Though great fame he eventually gained was not as an author, it is hard to think of any Native American of 19 th century who did more to influence and assist literary pursuits of others. Ha-sa-no-an-da, that first name he was given, was not only name he was called. Around time that he was sent at an early age to Baptist mission school on Tonawanda Reservation, he became known as named after Baptist minister, Reverend Ely Stone. Ely, he would say, pronounced to rhyme with freely. Ely S. Parker. At time of Ha-sa-no-an-da's, or Ely's youth, his Seneca people were under siege. Land companies attempted, through bribery, fraud, and physical coercion, to force Native people of western New York from few acres they still had left in several small reservations. (What was formerly Buffalo Creek Seneca Reservation, for example, ended up as city of Buffalo through a land sale document that was a total forgery.) The major reason for sending bright young men, such as Ely S. Parker, to white school was to gain kind of education that would prepare them to fight for their people--not on battlefield, but through letters, petitions, and direct negotiations with politicians in Albany and Washington. The story of Ely S. Parker's education is a complex and interesting one. I'm actually writing a novel for young adults about it, that I've titled The Rising Rainbow, a reference to a dream Ely's mother, Ga-ont-gwut-twus, had four months before his birth. In that dream, she was on Buffalo Creek Reservation. It was winter, and snow was falling. Suddenly, sky opened, and a rainbow appeared that arced from reservation to nearby farm of former white Indian agent. Marked along its length with signs like those on white shops in Buffalo, that rainbow was broken in middle. When Ga-ont-gwut-twus went to council house at Tonawanda to ask dream interpreter meaning of that dream, she was told that child she was carrying would be famous as both a white man and an Indian, as a peacemaker and a great warrior. His sun would rise on Indian land and set on white man's land, but the ancient land of his ancestors will fold him in death. However, it seems, dream interpreter did not explain why that rainbow was broken. Suffice it to say that Ely succeeded beyond anyone's expectations. He didn't just gain fluency in English. He became known as most powerful orator at Yates Academy, secondary institution he attended after leaving small Baptist mission school. …" @default.
