Books: Legends, Traditions, and Laws of the Iroquois, or Six Nations, and History of the Tuscarora Indians

E >> Elias Johnson >> Legends, Traditions, and Laws of the Iroquois, or Six Nations, and History of the Tuscarora Indians




The above is taken from the writings of Mr. Schoolscraft. On account of
the questions above, I propose to give a tradition, (which the Tuscaroras
have preserved,) to give the antiquarians and critics a question to
solve. Was the great massacre above made in the circumstance of the
tradition below, to wit: There was a settlement or Indian nation where
appeared several white men under the cloak of missionaries, (the reason I
use the term cloak is by the way it terminated), and preached to them the
gospel of Jesus Christ, and the great love evinced by the Father in
sending his only son to suffer and die on the cross to redeem the red
children of nature, as well as the pale faces, from their degradation,
shame and woe, to that of endless felicity beyond the shores of time. And
that they wished to erect a house of worship in their midst, in which
they might do their oblation to the Great Spirit, and that if they
embraced the gospel they would have annuities from the government, to all
of which the simple people of the forest made their assent. They
immediately went to work, dug for the cellar, and erected the building on
abutments of wood, and alleged that they would finish the cellar
afterwards. When the chapel was finished the Indians began to worship in
it. Now the time of the annuity arrived. The Indians were told to all
congregate and into the church, men, women and children, and all those
who refused to enter, should be omitted in the distribution of the
annuity. Consequently the building was entered by them and filled jammed
full. But there were two suspecting Indians who kept a proper distance
away, ambushed, to see the result. After it was thought all had entered,
there was a company of soldiers with guns and burning faggots, surrounded
the building and set it on fire on all sides, after they had fastened the
door. In this condition they all perished within the flames. I will not
make any attempt to give a sketch or in any way write in words the
horrors and heart-rendings cries and moans of the dying children of
nature in the flames, through a disguise of sheep's clothing, but will
leave it to the conjecture of the reader.

After the flames had subsided, these two Indians repaired to the doomed
spot, and found a heap of bones hob-nob, and they observed that some of
the skulls and bones of the different parts of the body were fractured
and broke open, supposed to have been done by, the falling timbers of the
burning house. It is said, "in one skull, two flint arrow-heads were
found." How easy for the artifice of the white men that accomplished the
massacre in the manner they did, to have sunk these two flint arrows into
one of those skulls, to leave the conjecture in after times to have been
done by an Indian war.

Mr. C. P. Turner, with an honorable age of 72 years, in 1878. told me
that he visited the deposit of these bones, the next day after they were
uncovered, saw the skull with the two flint arrows in it, and saw the
great deposit of bones in this mound, and also said the pile was in hap-
hazard, and not "in regular layers," as stated above. He also saw bones
which indicated being those of a child about 20 inches in height.

The Tuscaroras who preserve this tradition are located in the vicinity in
which this mound of bones were found. All historians are very cautious to
leave out or omit from the pages of their history, any circumstance in
the nature of the above tradition.
