Chainbreaker's War: A Seneca Chief Remembers the America Paperback – 1 October 2002

This autobiography is about Chainbreaker's social, political and physcial participation in the battles of war that took place between the Iroquois Confederation and the American colonists and their allies in upstate New York.

The on-again/off-again status of the peace with the native Americans is viewed through the eyes of one of the native Americans.When conflicts arose, it is interesting to realize that in a state of war, the native Americans had no concept of "combatants" (men) and "non-combatants" (women) and had no concept of remorse for what the colonials would deem "brutality". They could look back on those incidents without any seeming sense of right or wrong.That was "then", and "today" was all that mattered, and "tomorrow" is/was a hazy "maybe".
