Quotes by Colin G. Calloway (?)

“Shawnees moved so often and dispersed so widely that they sometimes seemed like a people without a homeland of their own.”
― Colin Calloway, The Shawnees and the War for America

“Indians are supposed to be silent in the Records written by history’s winners, but Shawnees speak from the Records kept by the British, French, Spaniards, and Americans. Shawnee orators explained that for them the struggle for America was not only a contest for resources but also a clash between two ways of life and between two different worldviews. They fought for a different vision of America.”
― Colin Calloway, The Shawnees and the War for America

“Women as well as men had war and civil chiefs. The Shawnee Prophet said the principal duty of the female peace chief was to prevent unnecessary bloodshed: She would exert her influence to restrain the war chiefs and ensure that conflict occurred only as a last resort. The female chiefs also had oversight of women’s affairs in the village, such as directing the planting and the arrangement of feasts.14 A Quaker who was surprised to see an old woman speaking in an Indian council near the Susquehanna River in 1706 and asked his interpreter why was told “that some women were wiser than some men, and that they had not done anything for many years without the council of this ancient, grave woman.”15”
