A BackPax® Adventure. In the frosty north country of upstate New York, once known as "stretching turtle," live today's Tonawanda Seneca people. Members of the indigenous "Six Nations," their government, the "Iroquois Confederacy," inspired America's Founding Founders in the formation of the United States. With this journey to Iroquois Country, BackPax takes listener/adventurers to the heart and soul of an old people and a new nation. Meet the children and their chief. Discover their unique history, folklore, music, and laughter. Thrill to tales of nature's wonders from modern times back to the days "When Rabbits Danced." Recorded on location on the Tonawanda Indian Reservation. Perfect for younger trailblazers new to BackPax, ages 6 and older.©1986 BackPax International (P)2009 Janus Adams LLC Travel Writing & Commentary

Hi haphazardly stumbled upon us. My father whom I was very close with recently passed. His name was Breneman Logan. Beeman was his father. He passed away before I was born so I never met him nor heard his voice. This story found me on the right day. It reminded me that with good there is bad and was bad there is good and today I’m going to focus on the good. I really miss my dad but being able to hear his dad’s voice gives me comfort knowing she’s in the right spot. I am happy for him.

Good to hear his voice

It's so important to hear the myths, legends, and histories of people the colonists actively erased (and actively continue to do so today In the US). Of course, ancient origin stories are all simplistic, but these at least have a bit more nuance than the "good versus evil" ones that the average US citizen is generally fed.

Old, outdated recording, but just call it LoFi and it comes back around to good. ;)

Good stories; Lofi recording
