Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Psychic Experiences of an Indian Princess: Daughter of Chief Tommyhawk (Mrs. Annette Leevier) From the available but vague and scattered family records handed down by word of mouth, or through the memory of recitals of glorious deeds and suffering hardships, I am able to give but a brief sketch of my ancestry. But brief as it is, I value it for that reason the more. My grand parents were in America and took part in the early wars between the English and French settlers of Quebec - now a Canadian province. My grandfather on my fathers side was known as Big Sun of the Pontiac branch of the Mohawk tribe; Pontiac being a very prominent figure in the very early Indian Wars for possessions of lands. My grandmother was known as Princess Laconquinne of the Ojibwah tribe of Indians. The mother side of the house came from Bordeaux, France. My grandparents - leaving France because of the Revolution - sought temporary refuge in America until peace had been restored. While in the midst of preparations prior to returning to their native land, fire broke out in their home and destroyed all their earthly possessions. This made it necessary for them to remain on this side,. They never saw their native land again in the material life. Father was born in Quebec in 1836, and was called Sunnie, because he was born in the early morning about sunrise. He was of the Ojibwah tribe of Indians. This was due to frequent intermarriagees of the Ojibwahs with the Mohawks - his father being a Mohawk. His education was purely Indian, being specially well versed in the use of herbs. As he grew older he became such a scrapper that he was nicknamed Chief Tommyhawk - after a famous predecessor. He lived amongst the Ojibwahs until he fell in love with a young French girl. This brought trouble, because the parents did not approve of the pact. Leaving their homes, the young couple eloped and were married in the Roman faith - my mother being a good Catholic, but my father being a believer in the Great Spirit, never entered a church in his life. I first saw daylight in Quebec, being born, as I was told later, with a hazy veil over my face, regarded at that time as a sign of wisdom.
