Brant

Brant, Joseph, Indian chief, was born about the middle of the 18th century. He proved a valuable ally to the British in their American wars both with the red-men and the colonists. Subsequently he became a devout Christian, and translated St. Mark's Gospel and the Prayer Book of the English Church into Mohawk. He also visited England in 1786 to raise funds to build the first Episcopal church in Canada. A monument to his memory was erected at Brantford, Ontario. He died in 1807.
