About Honoring our Warriors: Stockbridge Mohicans in the Revolutionary War

Discover the often-overlooked role of the Stockbridge Mohicans in America’s fight for independence with Major Jo Ann Schedler, a retired U.S. Army officer and descendant of Chief John Konkapot. This powerful talk honors the bravery, sacrifice, and legacy of Mohican warriors who defended their homelands during the Revolutionary War through Jo Ann’s personal insight and deep passion for this history.

The Community Voices Series features members of the Stockbridge-Munsee Community for a lineup of programs that challenge old myths, honor enduring truths, and create space for dialogue, reflection, and learning. Each speaker brings their own lived experiences and cultural knowledge as they share their views on Native identity, history, land stewardship, and language revitalization. Join us for one, a few, or all five.
