Dr. Oronhyatekha, born in 1841 into Mohawk royalty on the Six Nations reserve, led an extraordinary life, rising to prominence in medicine, sports, politics, fraternalism, and business. He became Chief of the Mohawks, and he was one of the first Indigenous physicians in Canada. Oronhyatekha was raised among people who espoused security, justice, and equality as their creed. He was also raised in a Victorian society guided by God, honour, and duty. His story is one that interweaves the messages of both cultures.
