So the Mohawk Nation not “all Indian tribes” lol… I guess the hundreds of other tribes don’t matter here

Meanwhile sputniknews.com is running headlines like How Joseph Stalin Became the Chief of the American Indians.[0] Bizarrely this also claims it was the Indian Confederation of America that awarded him this. In 1943 they also awarded this to Dwight D . Eisenhower lol. Not sure if this is the same as Confederation of Indian Americans, the far-right group that tried to replace the BIA.

EDIT: wrong NYTimes article. This one is much older. The one referenced above is actually here[1]. The article also has a quote by Chief Fallen Trees called Roosevelt “our Great White Father” lol

Hmm ok I got access to the article through The Wikipedia Library. I can’t share my link but if you have institutional access, you can see it here.[0] Even more strange is that this NYTimes article claims it was the Red Men of America. Which I truly hope is not the same thing as the Improved Order of Red Men. More helpfully it claims it was Chief Paul Horn who awarded this. He is a member of the Kootenai tribe
