I just realized that some of the "copyvios" I cut are actually in the public domain. Still, they were awful. Badly-written, horribly anachronstic, ("friend of the Red Man"), totally unsourced, and full of really embarrassing misinformation. Unusable. And it seems PBS relied on that stuff for it's sole or main source, as well. Unless we can get Seneca sources on this woman, which should exist if she's anywhere near as important as these non-Native sources claim, I can't take any of these sources as credible. She did exist. She did live in that area and collect art and write books. But right now that's all I'm sure of. I'll ask more folks tomorrow. - CorbieV☊☼00:37, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The 1971 account appears more balanced and nuanced; for instance, carefully noting that she was made an honorary chief, that her history writing was sentimental, and that her important contributions were in the purchase and preservation of artifacts. In addition, she helped support poor Iroquois in NYC.Parkwells (talk) 15:43, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
