Joseph Brant has always interested me and so has the Chapel of the Mohawks. Thanks for sharing.
I think naming a holiday locally is a splendid idea. I think I may start suggesting that although I bet it could cause controversy. Sometimes people just don't like change even if they don't like what is there to be changed.
