  • this is wonderful to hear jake swamp tell this great story...i really do wish that they would have not put in the singing in the background...or it could have been quieter...it is very distracting...and it's Seminole stomp dances...perhaps an Iroquois back track would have been more appropriate.

  • We miss him ..so much already.. . but he's done his job and well... and now he rests

  • Did Jake pass into the spirit world? if so.. when??

  • @harlemndn1 Yes Jake has passed and I believe it was on friday the 15th

  • I met him ... back in the late 80's ... Jake if you see this ... I'm Lance Fallin (Little Man) if you remember Duane Nicholas, and Sylvester Mesteth. Duane Nicholas ... Little Pigeon and Grey Owl's son. Remember? we were at the gathering of the nations near Kansas City. We compared Mohawk and Cherokee words. I never forgot you. A-ho ... much respect sir, much respect.

  • what ever the reasons people respect this man, thruth is, this guy speaks a truth we can all relate to.

  • Yeah man Jake Swamp is a Mohawk Elder I dont know much about him.. I know my Aunt Marina Is Datin Leonard Swamp.. Dont know the relation im fron Oneida Ontario.. I just wish more people would share these stories the way Jake would.

  • This is great!!*****

  • SEGO i believe jake swamp is a akwesasne chief,he is loyal to his people,clan mothers knew this.thats why he was chosen and elected,my grand mother was from akwesasne,she spoke highly of the keepers of the eastern gate.i miss her voice,,JAKE NYA-WEH,,,ONEN KI WAHI SEE YOU IN SARATOGA IN 2009!!

  • Nya:Weh! Sge:no Swe'geh:goh! When elders speak we need to listen. When Haweniio our grandfather speaks to me via an elder you betcha I listen! From the eastern door to the western door, we are all ongwehonweh and we are all six nations. There is no gaming, no gas, no cigarette tobacco. There is only the land, the longhouse, and the people. Those other things are not what the good mind is about.
