Peter Jones Kahkewaquonaby

Peter Jones Kahkewaquonaby

Peter Jones (1802-56), known in Ojibwa as Kahkewaquonaby, son of surveyor Augustus Jones and Tuhbenahneequay, a Mississauga Indian, was ordained a Methodist minister in 1833.

Peter Jones (January 1, 1802 – June 29, 1856) was an Ojibwa Methodist minister, translator, chief and author from Burlington Heights, Upper Canada. His Ojibwa name was Kahkewāquonāby (Gakiiwegwanebi in the Fiero spelling), which means "[Sacred] Waving Feathers". In Mohawk, he was called Desagondensta, meaning "he stands people on their feet". In his youth his band of Mississaugas had been on the verge of destruction. As a preacher and a chieftain, as a role model and as a liaison to governments, his leadership helped his people survive contact with Europeans.

умный и достойный человек, но такое имя не то, что запомнить, произнести невозможно! :(
