This claim is not supported by the actual traditional governing bodies and popular councils at 6 nations or anywhere. Also the guy who is mainly behind this (Harrison) has publicly threatened to kill a female activist (on facebook)and is generally abusive and violent. It’s totally against the values of the people he claims to represent and its not something i can support. Also, there is like no archeological evidence for a burial site, and the haudensaunee wern’t even in the area at that time in history, and usual 3000 year oral histories refer to things that were important, not a site where one dude died one time, that would really clutter the oral history up.

All of his animation is reminiscent of your style (and Woodring’s) but it comes out exceptionally clear in this new VanGaalen video.

If they don’t have a 3000 year unbroken oral history, it is likely due to enforced residential schools etc. I guess I generally just believe that First Nations play a huge role in any kind of attempt to reverse the current monstrous direction of our culture.
