Hello and welcome to Iroquois History and Legends. I'm Andrew. And I am Caleb.

And welcome to episode 36, The American Revolution, Part 1. Finally. We should probably

recap last week a little bit, Andrew, and what kind of let us hear? Last time we mentioned that

Logan, a Cayuga Mingo man, kind of had his whole family killed by Good for Nothing settlers,

and that in turn sparked Lord Dunmore's War in the Virginia,

Ohio country in 1774. So this week we're going to cover what's going on the two years

leading up to the American Revolution. If you're just joining us, I would highly recommend

going back and starting at our first episode of the French and Indian War,

because in my opinion, the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War really tie in great together.

They really set each other up.

So I think that you won't be so lost.

If you're just interested in Revolutionary War history, that's great.

But if you've got time, swing on over and check out some of our earlier episodes and then we do have two episodes in between these wars that kind

of fill in the gap that's going on with the native peoples which ends up

explaining what leads to the American Revolution as well we're gonna throw

some disclaimers out right now this series we're doing on the American Revolution

is not focused on the American

Revolution per se. We're going to focus on how the Haudi Nishone were involved in this conflict,

and they're involved quite a bit. But we're not going to be covering battles in South Carolina

or diplomacy with Benjamin Franklin in France, or you name it.

Anything that ties in with the Native Americans in the Northeast is going to be central.

But we think that you're going to learn a lot from that.
