Joseph Brant, American tribal leader (born 1742)

Thayendanegea or Joseph Brant was a Mohawk military and political leader, based in present-day New York and, later, Brantford, in what is today Ontario, who was closely associated with Great Britain during and after the American Revolution. Perhaps the best known North American Indigenous person of his generation, he met many of the most significant American and British people of the age, including both United States President George Washington and King George III of Great Britain.
