As our documented lineage illustrates, our family’s history in New York and New England is not a single ancestral line. It is a convergence — many independent paths returning, again and again, to the same homelands.

Our family has deep, traceable roots in the Indigenous homelands of New York and New England. These roots are demonstrated through named Indigenous-connected ancestors, repeated regional convergence, and multi-generational continuity of place and kin networks.

Our ancestors lived here.
Their children stayed here.
Their descendants are still here.

Not as a metaphor.
Not as a symbolic connection.
But as families — in place, in records, and in relation.

Askwa nd'aoldibna, We are Still here.
