VII Ballade (for the contest at Blois)


I die of thirst beside the fountain 

as hot as fire, trembling tooth on tooth; 

in my own country I'm in a far-off land; 

beside a fire I shiver, all aflame; 

as naked as a worm, yet richly dressed in furs; 

I laughed through tears, and wait without a hope; 

my only comfort is in sad despair; 

I rejoice and have no pleasure; 

I am strong, but have no force or power, 

Well received, rebuffed by all.


Nothing sure save what is yet uncertain, 

nor more obscure than what is evident; 

I have no doubt save when I am positive; 

in sudden accident is knowledge based; 

I win all and yet remained a loser; 

at break of day I say "Goodnight"; 

when I lie down I have great fear of falling; 

I'm quite well off and yet don't have a penny; 

I await inheritance and yet am no man's heir, 

Well received, rebuffed by all.


I'm never careful, but I make all efforts 

to acquire wealth though I have none to claim; 

who to me is nicest most annoys me; 

who speaks the truth tells me most lies; 

my friend is he who leads me to believe 

white swan is nothing but black crow; 

he who harms me does his best to help; 

lies, truth are now the same to me; 

I remember all, but can conceive of nothing, 

Well received, rebuffed by all.


Most clement prince may you be pleased to know 

that much I understand, but have no sense or reason; 

I'm strongly partisan and yet agree with all. 

What can I do? What? Redeem my things in pawn, 

Well received, rebuffed by all.

117.) The control and participation of the Canandaigua Treaty commemoration on November 11, 2025, by the Bureau of Indian Affairs(BIA) elective government of the Seneca Nation of Indians signals yet another possible attempt by the SNI to overthrow the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. And SNI's participation could possibly derail their own lawsuit against New York State for the NYS Thurway crossing their land without payment.

The Seneca Nation of Indians is a BIA agency and not a part of the Haudenossunee Confederacy. SNI voluntarily abandoned the Haudenosaunee Confederacy in 1848. The BIA-SNI has never been a part of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. The Canandaigua Treaty of 1794 was made with the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, also known historically as "The Six Nations". The Bureau of Indian Affairs-Seneca Nation of  Indians was created by the United States government in 1848. 54 years after the signing of the Canandaigua treaty. Not known if this has happened at prior commemorations: When the president of the Seneca nation of Indians, which is a Bureau of Indian Affairs- elected government, participated in this commemoration of 2025. Both, the president of the Seneca Nation of Indians and a Seneca Nation of Indians counselor from Allegheny, were the only ones to speak at this commemoration regarding the treaty. These two BIA officials spoke of their ownership, acceptance, and usage of the Canandaigu...

119.) This is a Public Notice that the matriarchal, Longboat family's Haudenosaunee adoption of Paul Williams has been revoked. For identity clarification, Paul Williams is the author of the book, titled: "Kayanerenko:wa The Great Law of Peace by Kayanesenh Paul Williams". (2 min. read)

This book was rejected by the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council at Grand River, and the Grand Council of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Paul Williams has been barred from attending Grand Council of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy for decades. The Haudenosaunee Chiefs were officially notified of the revocation of Paul Williams adoption into my family on Wednesday, August 13, 2025. Paul Williams was officially notified of the revocation of his adoption the next day, on Thursday, August 14, 2025. At this time, Paul Williams acknowledged the revocation of his adoption from my families matriarchal line, with witnesses present.  It is Haudenosaunee protocol that when an adoption is revoked, the individual can never claim the adoption or use the Indian name of adoption, again. And the Indian name used for that adoption, is said to be "burnt", and is never to be used by anyone again.  An adoption is sacred, and it is not to be spoken of. And it is not to be used, for example: to...

118.) For centuries, the colonizing white researcher PhD's who studied, wrote books and museum reports on the Haudenosaunee people and culture, have practiced the dehumanizing format of never revealing the names of their indigenous "informants". (25 min. read)

For the most part, this racist format is still in use  and is presenting  itself as one of the highest forms of insidious colonization of the Haudenosaunee people today. There is now at least one university that is addressing this issue. But this issue has never been addressed formally in the public forums, to my knowledge. Perhaps only quietly in the halls of academia. It is now time. This article is intended to start the healing process of this situation. This subject has been brooch previously in articles 23 and 62. These two articles should be read before addressing this one. This article will be go deeper into the current situation of this insidious colonization of the Haudenosaunee youth, studying in these fields. And the negative effects on the Haudenosaunee people and youth, as a whole. To begin with, let us look at the formal term of "informant", as currently and historically used by the historians, anthropologists and ethologists and sometimes, lawyers, studying the...
