This year marks the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s arrival in the land that would become New York. To personally commemorate the occasion, I have put out an illustrated e-pamphlet titled “Broken Chain: How the White and Indian Worlds Remembered Henry Hudson and the Dutch,” available for free download as a PDF.
Two powerful tribes greeted the Dutch around Albany, the Mohicans and the Mohawks. Each retained legends of their early encounters, spread across generations by orators wielding belts of sewant that preserved the memories of the tribes. Combining Dutch records with Indian legends passed to the white men through conferences with colonial authorities and missionaries who lived among the Indians, Broken Chain presents three perspectives on the Covenant Chain, the supposed peace to which the Dutch, Mohicans and Mohawks agreed.
