Shé:kon, sewakwekon: Now after the day my partner and I were married according to the stipulations of the Great Law. I take this time to offer Great Thanks to all that allowed things to happen as they did. To the Speakers, Tehahenteh Ratheseronnis, Grafton Antone, David Dearhouse, and helpers Adam Freeman, and Cam Martin and Old Mush Singers, and all people involved, and especially to my family, Kawenniiostha Wakathahionni, my niece, Martha and Claire, my sisters, and Jessie, my brother in law, we give Great Thanks. In planning for this event we tried to follow protocol by announcing it was going to happen and then all people we have known or worked with were invited. It was an open invitation. Then we were informed many would not know that, so for us to send invitations. We sent many out in many different ways and still found out after the fact, that many of them didn’t go through and not all people received them. For this we sincerely apologize to our many friends and neighbors. We did not mean, in any way, to exclude anyone. We are not that kind of people. So we thank you all for the good thoughts that were put forward and for the Oneida people welcoming a Mohawk man into their house and territory.
