Jacob Ezra Thomas Hadajagretha “he makes the clouds descend” Deyohonwede “he is the one who is so real in two ways” was born at Six Nations in 1922. He spent his entire life, before he passed on in 1998, practicing, teaching, and guiding the community in strict Iroquoian culture in the most rigorous way possible.

This talk will take us through the rich life experience which made him the most important Iroquoian Elder of the twentieth century.
