245 years ago, George Washington spent 85% of the US budget trying to genocide the Haudenosaunee from our homelands. They started a months long scorched earth campaign that destroyed 40 villages, 1400 homes, 150k bushels of corn, and displaced 5k people to Fort Niagara

Can't think of anything more emblematic of Haud bad-assery than surviving genocide and deciding that you like the taste of it, you keep eating the scorched earth. 245 years later the babies you survived for keep themselves fed because after the soldiers were gone, you went home

The scars of the Sullivan Campaign still impact us today, but 245 years later, I sat in a longhouse with other Haudenosaunee appreciating how much we have survived. The young women spoke Mohawk to one another. We laughed. We ate corn and strawberries.

The campaign resulted in fields of green corn being burned. We survived off of cicadas and burned corn soup. Washington tried to kill us all, and 245 years later, I ate burned corn soup. The corn kept us alive.
