Poet Emily Pauline Johnson, Tekahionwakeh (1861-1913), was born at Chiefswood, built as an 1853 wedding gift for her English mother by her Mohawk chief father. Pauline Johnson was lauded for her writings, including 'Flint and Feather' and 'The Song My Paddle Sings'. She canoed the nearby scenic Grand River.

SIX NATIONS INDIAN RESERVE, ONTARIO, CANADA
This video is mostly for those in Canada, USA but especially outside NA who have never been on an Indian Reserve (or Reservation, two words, same meaning).
Apparently, as per Wikipedia as well, this particular Indian Reserve in the largest in entire Canada.
Downtown Six Nations Indian Reserve is the Village of Ohsweken, Ontario:
Indians do not pay any taxes on the Reserve, that includes sales tax, gas tax, property tax also outside their Reserve as well:
Not bad to be an Indian in Ontario, no idea about taxes for Indians in rest of Canada.
Gas prices are obviously very low on the Reserve, about 35c/liter ($1.2/gallon) lower than rest of Ontario, no gas taxes on the Reserve, that's why everybody who lives around the Reserve plus tourists who are aware of this place always stop by for a pretty cheap fill-up.
As you can see, locals have no problem with the word RED INDIAN, I personally spoken with a store owner near the gas station and she said she's very proud as being a Native INDIAN and she does not see the word as offensive in any way. We all know how (overwhelmingly) White Liberal Media AND White Liberals in generals brand you as racist when using this word, NBC/Bob Costas vs. Washington Red Skins the best example possible. Also how many ppl have been inside such Indian Reserve to know that Red Indian word is widely accepted by Native Indians.
YES, No Canadian Flag on the Reserve except for the Park along with American, British and their own flag, also they have their own Police, Fire, EMS Stations, so pretty much they consider themselves like an independent country.
The Reserve is located very close to Caledonia, Ontario, the place of ugly clashes btwn Indians and local white residents, OPP always being on the Indian's side, it's very politically incorrect to be against Indians nowadays.
Friendly advice to everybody going inside the Reserve: DO NOT SHOW ANY CANADIAN FLAG OR PRO-CANADIAN SIGN ON YOU AND/OR ON YOUR CAR. For your own sake of course.
At 06:23 in the video you'll see something extremely rare in Ontario and maybe in rest of Canada as well: a 65 KPH speed-zone sign, first time I've seen such sign in 20+ years of driving on Ontario roads.
So anytime you are around Hamilton, Ontario, feel free to visit the SIX NATIONS INDIAN RESERVE, never forget that anything you buy on the Reserve is TAX-FREE!!!

Remember these:
1) Nothing in LAW supersedes the will of the people. You are richer and more powerful than you think.
2) In a free democratic country, the people together, have the RIGHT to change the rules.
3) 50/50 Direct democracy governance and 100% VETO power by the people on each side of the Two Row Wampum is needed.
In a free democratic society, National sovereignty with VETO POWER is a collective human right to the collective self-governance and self-determination of the People, their country and their assets.
No personal human rights can nor should supersede national collective rights, unless, the collective has agreed to it through full understanding that all National sovereign collective rights are lost, and fully accepted through consensus. ~ Nicole Lebrasseur

The Canadians: Pauline Johnson
Emily Pauline Johnson (also known as Tekahionwake, “double wampum”) poet, writer, artist and performer (born 10 March 1861 on the Six Nations Reserve, Canada West; died 7 March 1913 in Vancouver, BC) was one of North America’s most notable entertainers of the late 19th century. A gifted writer and poised speaker, she toured extensively throughout Canada and the United States, captivating audiences with her flare for the dramatic arts.
Vote Pauline Johnson ~ Banknoteable
The Bank of Canada is inviting Canadians to nominate an iconic woman to appear on a new bank note. Let's rally together to have E. Pauline Johnson be the first woman to appear on Canadian currency. 1st: Click this link and nominate Pauline Johnson. 2nd: Share this video and the voting link
Here are just few great reasons to vote for Pauline Johnson:
1. E. Pauline Johnson was in many ways the first voice of Aboriginal people in Canada to mainstream audiences. Through her writing and performances she captivated audiences, broaden perspectives and provided many with their first glimpse into the life of an “Indian”.
2. E. Pauline Johnson was not only a poet, but a storyteller. When delivering her monologues, she would make full use of the stage and would pace, crouch and creep as she told stories of nature, love and the plight of native people in Canada.
3. Having E. Pauline Johnson featured on the Next Canadian Bank Note would represent both Canada’s commitment to reconciliation with Aboriginal people and our countries dual history.
4. Pauline’s poem “A cry from an Indian Wife,” was based on the Riel Rebellion, a significant point in Canadian history. This poem conveyed native issues to a mainstream audience and deserves to be included in school curriculum across Canada.
5. During Pauline's era it was hard enough to be a woman in the world, yet alone a woman of two worlds. Her stage name Tekahionwake (pronounced dageh-eeon-wageh) means double wampum or double life and is reflective of her & Canada's dual-heritage.
6. E. Pauline Johnson was a woman of dual heritage, the product of love between an English woman and a Mohawk man, during a time when mixed marriages were frowned upon. Both Pauline & Canada are proud of their multiculturalism.
7. “Well Behaved Woman Seldom Make History” –M. Thatcher
E. Pauline Johnson‘s strength and determination to make her own living, in an era when women were expected to be housewives, is an inspiration to all women.
8. E. Pauline Johnson was a contributor to the distinct literature of early Canada. Not only was she a woman of mixed heritage, but she was also a trailblazer for race and gender equality.
9. I nominate Pauline Johnson because I think it would be amazing to see an Aboriginal face on the next Canadian Bank Note.
10. I nominate E. Pauline Johnson because “Flint & Feather” remains one of the best selling titles in Canadian Poetry. Originally published in 1912, this compilation has been reissued more than 35 times.
11. I nominate E. Pauline Johnson for her poem “Canadian Born” and for the quote “and all have one credential that entitles us to brag—than we born in Canada beneath the British Flag.”
12. I nominate E. Pauline Johnson because she is a trailblazer for both race and gender equality in Canada.
13. In 1961, Pauline was the first writer, Aboriginal person and woman (other than the Queen) to be featured on the Canadian Postage stamp.
14. E. Pauline Johnson is a figure of the resistance to dominant ideas of the time surrounding race, gender, Native rights and Canada.
15. In 1895, the “Canadian Magazine” declared Pauline as, “the most popular figure in Canadian literature.”
