Dear Diary,
I am here at Cayahoga, visiting one of my friends, although I forgot his name, but don't blame me, it's pretty long. I don't know how to spell it, so I'll try to pronounce it...Something like...the-end-knee-gee, or like the-end-a-knee-gee...Oh right! It was Thayendanegea!
March 30, 1776
Dear Diary,
So many things have happened to my dear friend Thayendie - I like to call him that. He has gone through so many adventures, that it took all night form him to tell the whole tribe about it while we were enjoying some caribou around the campfire.

Dear Diary,
Something has gone wrong! Thayendanegea is no where to be found! The whole tribe tried to look in the tents and forests for him, thinking that he is trying to fool us. After all, it is April Fools Day. I entered a tent, and found an old man meditating to their 'God.'He said that Thayendanegea traveled in disguise to some Haudenosaunee that rebelled against the British.

Dear Cayahoga tribe,
Sorry about the worry. I had to travel in disguise, so I didn't want anyone to know. Although I have convinced the Haudenosaunee tribe to help the British. and they have helped Britain in many successful battles. Although, the British didn't really respect us First Nations. They gave the Haudenosaunee's land to the United States! So I'm going to France to petition them.
Wish me luck,
Thayendanegea
But you can call me Joseph Brant if it's easier.
