dbo:abstract
  • Moses Carpenter (1854, Grand River Territory, Canada – 1889, Middlesbrough, North Riding of Yorkshire, England) was a Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation Native American whose proposed repatriation from England to his ancestral home in southern Ontario, Canada generated controversy in 2008. Carpenter was born Ska-Run-Ya-Te (or Skaroniate) in Ontario, Canada in 1854, as a member of the Mohawk tribe, reportedly of the Wolf clan of the Six Nations. In the 1880s, he journeyed from his native Canada to Great Britain to join a traveling medicine show that sold alleged cures for illnesses ranging from rheumatism to the common cold. Contemporary reports state that the arrival of the show caravan created a spectacle that attracted large crowds wherever it set up camp. Using his Mohawk name, he and other members of the show provided entertainment as teeth were extracted and potions applied by the show's leader, a man who billed himself as "Sequah," but was actually an Englishman whose real name was reportedly William Hannaway Rowe. Not long after the show arrived in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire in August 1889, Carpenter developed a fever, and died on August 15, 1889 in the town's North Riding Infirmary. He had reportedly converted to the Church of England, and was interred in accordance with Church of England rites. His funeral, held at St. Pauls Church three days after his death, was said to have generated the largest turnout since the funeral of the town's first mayor a decade earlier. A poem written by a local girl was inscribed on his gravestone, which became a landmark, with people laying feathers at his grave over the years. Recently, restoration of the gravestone was undertaken to repair deterioration and vandalism. (en)
