He is mesmerizing!

Very many thanks for the comment

Ta qua ta ha ne, kono rohn qua, et tu nay awa. (Mohawk Indian, best as I can spell it, because you have to spell it phonetically, since Indians don't have an alphabet) He looks somewhat like some of my mother-in-law's relatives on the Mohawk reservation outside Montreal, (for real). She spoke the language. As for me, I'm stuck with plain old English. Great picture !!

It is so very sad, that we as humans place these people in what we call an Reservation, to them it is an prison camp, we took away their land over yellow dust, we give to them Firewater, took away their way of life, stop them from having their means to hunt and find food, like so many times before the white man prove to the world what they are, we talk about our rights but forget about others, So you have family in the Mohawk . Very nice to hear from you many thanks for the comment

your portrait is powerful, but there is something odd about the skin. I talk with Native Americans when I have a chance, and they tell me that the young have little or no interest in speaking their native tongue from Navajos to Choctaws. The Navajos native language saved so many soldiers during WWII from Japanese to Germans not being able to translate

Bear with me I will tell you my reasons by email

all the tribes that have casinos are making millions of dollars each day. The Cherokee tribe has investments world wide. My son is a registered Cherokee

Very good image.

Many thanks

To answer Richardphotos reply, it's not true, like with the Hopi, that the Mohawk Reserve outside Montreal has no interest in learning Mohawk Indian. Quite a few of my wife's relatives are fluent in Mohawk. My wife also has her Mohawk Indian card from the Kanewaga Mohawk reserve. She understands English and French better, though. As to what you said, Radioham, all that is true enough, but that was quite a few generations ago from us. Indian history is American history now. We're all Americans.

But the what we will call the white Americans still think that the Indian lands are there's they rob you of the yellow dust did they pay your people for it then or now, They did not win the war with your people because of better fighting, just better weapons. I seen one of those stilly tv shows in it an officer in WW1 said fighting was so good when the ones you fight have just spears while we have Machine guns

Beautifully done!
