Welcoming Belt of the 1700s shows an Englishman and a Frenchman holding hands with an aboriginal. According to Commanda, the promise was to "try to respect and keep harmony with nature as we had lived before. And they both agreed that they would do that", according to Commanda.

wampum belt he said: "respecting everything that the Creator made — the animals, fish, the water, the trees. Everything that grows. That was what they [the originators of the wampum belt] were talking about. If you don't respect all this you have to pay some day. [...promised that they would respect nature and take care of everything, not abuse anything."
Maybe "was an Algonquin elder and promoter of cultural harmony and respect for earth" or something like that might be a better description in lead. "environmental stewardship" seems a bit vacuous and plus that, I plagiarised from I forget where (one of the refs). Any ideas?

Clan/dodem
- There is conflicting information online on what dodem (or clan) William Commanda was. I heard Makwa dodem (Bear clan) yet I seen online articles stating he is Squirrel clan? Any information to clear this up?

Chaudiere falls
You posted a story about Alguonquins saying that ashenebe (not sure of the spelling were here for hundreds of years .)Many were here for thousands of years and for sure with astronomical amount of evidence that Ottawa-Hull had a reserve called tsit kanatso . Publish what is fact about the original truth of the region please . They were illegally evicted in 1904 I believe after their village was burnt and as well massacred by the French and Alguonquins.
