I write this 28th of October 1776- You shall now be informed of our situation this way- for which purpose we send back Kargah (a young Mohawk so called from Niagara) and I wish we might be certified what you are doing your way- Our eyes are fixed upon Canada - The commands of the Governor there determine our conduct. But we are assured he is well disposed - he will not punish such, as are behind the hand of others in coming in (or joining him) - and although you reside in the midst of the Bostonians you are loved by all the Britains, and by all the different nations of Indians - it is only expected of you that you don't take active part with the Bostonians while you reside in the midst of them. The only reason they don't arise this way and destroy all around you is your situation viz. Residing in the midst of Bostonians. The Indians universally are firmly united with you on the Kings side- the Cherokees are of your sentiment, let this strengthen your minds with the disposition of the Governor of Canada- he purposes in the first place to take possession of Ticonderoga and this way and then New York. They are to meet in Albany, Then the Indians one and all are to proceed and make their way thither- I hope no misfortune may befall you in the meantime- these are the important matters I now have to communicate- Let the sentiments possess your minds my Younger Brothers, be assured of this taking place- I must however observe, at our grand meeting at Niagara (Consisting of Ottawas Chippewas and others with some of the Six Nations) -many of the Indians were discouraged by disappointment- they were eager to return and fall upon the frontiers but the Commander would not consent to it solely on account of your situation being surrounded by Bostonians- In this god has mercifully spared us, especially my Country (the Mohawks) this conduct of our Commander, I attribute to the divine disposal- Let Colonel Butler receive many thanks from you for his friendly Administration- he is well and the one that is with him ( NB the Indian letter does not specify whether the one, here mentioned be the Commander or some other) let no offence be taken that I don't return so soon as expected: the Commander will not part with me- I am of great service to him- Aaron Kanorraron

Show moreKirkland 73a To the Honorable Jonathan Trumbull Esquire - Governer of Connecticut - by him to be communicated to the Inhabitants of the New England Provinces. A Speech from the Chiefs and warriors of the Oneida Nation. As my younger Brothers of the New England Indians (who have settled in our vicinity) are moving down to visit their friends and move up parts of their families that were left behind. By them with this belt I desire the Road clear of all obstacles - that they may visit their friends and return to their settlement here in peace. We Oneidas are induced to the measure on account of the disagreeable situation of your affairs - and hope by the help of God they may go and return in peace - and we earnestly recommend them to your Charity. Now we more immediately address ourselves to our Brothers - the Governors and Chiefs of New England. Brothers - possess your minds in peace respecting us Indians - we cannot intermeddle in this dispute between two Brothers. The quarrel seems to be unnatural - you are two Brothers of one blood. We are unwilling to join on either side of such a contest, for we love you both - old England and new. Should the great King of England apply to us for our aid - we shall deny him - and should the Colonies apply - we shall refuse. The present situation of you, two Brothers, is new to us. We Indians cannot find or recollect from the traditions of our ancestors any like case. For these reasons, Brothers, possess your minds in peace that we refuse joining in the contest. We are for peace. Brothers, was it an alien, a foreign Nation, that had struck you, we should look into the matter. We hope, through the wise government and good pleasure of God - your distresses will soon be removed and the dark cloud be dispersed. Brethren - as we have declared, we are for peace. We desire you would not apply to our Indian Brethren in New England for their assistance. Let us Indians be all of one mind, and live in peace with one another - and you white people settle your own disputes. Brothers, we have now delivered our leading sentiments as to the situation of your prayers. Please to write to us - that we may know how you receive it. [Undated. In Kirkland's writing. A very rough draft.]
