This website is established to educate and activate peoples regarding the situation and circumstance of Chief Iron Thunderhorse
Chief Iron Thunderhorse, culture-bearer of the Quinnipiac Nation, the 10,000-year-inhabitants of the Long Island Sound area and the first people ever to be placed on a reservation – over 350 years ago in 1638
They stole his ancient homeland, shattered and scattered his remarkable, peace-loving people, then 350 years later they abused him in Catholic schools and taunted him for his religion. After racists murdered his wife and baby son, they sent this 18-year-old young man to Vietnam, behind enemy lines where this Green Beret witnessed atrocities which no young man should ever see. To the government, Iron was just a tiny relic of an almost - exterminated indigenous peoples who had been under attack physically, religiously, and culturally for over 350 years. Iron was an expendable, but gifted and useful, cannon fodder.
This young man, however, managed to maintain his integrity of character even in the Mekong Delta and refused to lead his men to follow an order to neutralize our own boys, when a government drug experiment went wrong. He saw too much, knew too much, and their attempts to brainwash failed, so he refused to become an undercover operative in the states. Instead, he studied law in California and became a street lawyer to help right the wrongs wreaked upon indigenous peoples through almost four hundred years of oppression and ethnic cleansing. He tried to help anybody he could who faced injustice, regardless of race or religion.
