8 AUTHOR'S PREFACE The reason I wrote this story was because I attended a Stockbridge-Munsee history class, and the teacher. Dr. David Wrone, gave a very good account of Daniel Ninham and his Stockbridge warriors. This made me proud to be part of the Stockbridge-Munsee Tribe. When our tribe lost their homelands in New York, they were forced to move along many trails, finally settling in the Wisconsin area. My grandfather and my great uncle were among the Stockbridge-Munsee people who settled here. I want our children, as well as non-native children, to read about one of our relatives Daniel Ninham, a war chief who died for what he believed in. He is not a forgotten hero in his homeland of New York. But he was almost forgotten in our trail of history because of the removals of our tribe. Today we, as Native people, gather to celebrate and honor our veterans, both men and women, of the past and future. I hope that, with this story, I can help our children understand their Mohican history and not forget our Native heroes. vii
9 MOHICAN AND WAPPINGER LANDS IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY
10 Many, many years ago, when Native people still owned much of the land here. Chief Daniel Ninham* was an important Native warrior. He was a very wise Wappinger leader. The Wappingers were a group of Native people related to the Mohicans who lived north of them. The Wappingers lived on land along the southeastern banks of the Muh-he-kun-ne-tuk.** Today this is called the Hudson River. * Also spelled Nimham ** Also spelled Muhicannituk, Mahecanittuck, etc. I
11
12 While Daniel Ninham was growing up, people who had come from Europe were looking for land to live on. They were moving into Wappinger and Mohican Lands. They were called "colonists." When Daniel got older, he was called a chief by his people. The colonists, who could see that he was greatly respected by his own people, called him a king. These are both names of great honor given to respected leaders, and Chief Ninham was respected by everyone.
13
14 Chief Ninham tried very hard to keep his people's lands from being taken over by colonists. But after he came home from fighting in a war, he found colonists living on the land he and his people had been living on. Even though he was very angry. Chief Ninham decided to get his people's land back through peaceful means. 5
15 First, he wrote a long letter to the colonists' leaders telling them that he and his people had a right to their lands. Then he traveled many miles to New York City to try to keep their lands.
16 7
17 Finally he and three Mohican leaders went all the way across the ocean to London, England, to see the English king.
18 But the king was no help. Chief Ninham had to return to this country knowing that he and the other Wappingers would lose their land. 9
19 01
20 Soon the colonists' governor and his council said that Daniel's people had no right to keep their land because they did not have a deed. A deed is a piece of paper saying that someone owns a piece of land. The colonists used deeds to prove they owned land. II
21 Daniel said that this was not the Indian people's way. Like other Native people, he believed that Mother Earth cannot be owned, divided up, or sold.
22 The Wappingers and their neighbors, the Mohicans, showed respect for Mother Earth by living from what the seasons gave them. 13
23
24 They hunted and fished and planted gardens. They gathered plants for medicines and foods. They used only what they needed from Mother Earth, and they took care of her. 15

26 But the colonists who had moved onto the Wappinger land said they had a deed. So Chief Ninham lost the land. By this time he had already moved away to Stockbridge to join his family there. This was a village where some Mohicans lived. It was on land that colonists had not yet taken from the Mohican people. 17
27 Daniel Ninham was a strong leader. He fought in legal ways to keep his people's land. We could say he was a peaceful warrior. He never stopped believing that he shared Mother Earth with his family and other Native people.

30 Chief Ninham was also another kind of warrior, one who fights with weapons. He had learned to hunt when he was a young man. He had learned to fight in earlier battles. He also became known as an Elder because he had learned how to live a good life. But he still believed that we often have to fight for what is right. So, as an Elder, he became a leader of some Mohican warriors from Stockbridge. He and his men were called "excellent marksmen" because they had learned to use their weapons so well. 21
31
32 At that time he got a colonists. In the letter Stockbridge warriors to War. letter from leaders of the they asked him and his fight in the Revolutionary This was the colonists' war against the same king whom Chief Ninham had gone to see. The colonists felt that the king, far away in England, was taking away their freedoms. 23
33 Chief Ninham wrote back: "You have sent for me to fight. If I do, you must let me fight in my own Indian way. Only point out to me where enemies are and that is all I want to know."
34
35
36 Chief Ninham was one of the first Indian men who joined the colonists' in their Revolutionary War. He did this because he felt he was still fighting for his people's land. He believed that a deed did not mean that colonists really owned the Native land. He believed that it still belonged to the Wappingers and the Mohicans, and that it was worth fighting for. He was even willing to die for this land. 27
37 There were many English troops fighting against the colonists. They were on foot and on horseback.
38 Chief Ninham, his son, Abraham, and the other warriors were few, but they were strong men and good fighters. They finally met the English in a place called Van Cortlandt's Woods. 29
39 These woods were not far from the same lands that Chief Ninham had tried to save for his people years before. He believed that he and his men were still fighting for their lands.

41
42 The English troops attacked Chief Ninham and his warriors on three sides. The Mohicans were on foot. The English troops were on horseback, and there were many, many more than the Native warriors. As the fierce battle went on. Chief Ninham knew that he and his warriors were going to lose, even though they were fighting very bravely. 33
43
44 Then he made his last stand. "My time has come," he shouted to his young warriors. "I am an old tree. I will die here." 35
45
46 And he did. Daniel Ninham was a Wappinger Elder, warrior, and leader. He died defending the land that he loved -- land near the river called the Muh-he-kun-ne-tuk. Chief Ninham was an old man at the time of his death. He was worthy of the name chief. He was a respected leader of his people. 37
47 Today the bodies of Chief Ninham and his warriors lie under the soil of a New York City park.
48 Nearby, in a small grassy clearing circled in trees, there is a bronze tablet that simply says: AUGUST 31, 1778 UPON THIS FIELD CHIEF NIMHAM AND SEVENTEEN STOCKBRIDGE INDIANS AS ALLIES OF THE PATRIOTS GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR LIBERTY 39

52 Few Mohican people today remember Chief Ninham. For us he is a forgotten hero. But we can honor him, if we remember how bravely he fought for homelands close by our own -- along the Muh-he-kun-ne-tuk. On Veterans Day and during our Veterans Pow-wow, when all our warriors are honored, we can think of Chief Ninham. For that is when our great warriors who have fought for our land, especially those who died fighting, are remembered and honored. 43
