Annosothkah, or Chief Sampson Green, councilman of the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte in what is currently Ontario, Canada, was welcomed to Edinburgh with a reception here in April 1887. He was touring Britain, lecturing on his nation and customs in order to raise money for the restoration of the church there (apparently they needed to raise about £600). The Edinburgh Evening News reported that he spoke "in admirable English. He described the religious customs of the tribe, and referred, also, to their social economy, observing that in all things the chief was the prominent personage.”
