My ninth great-grandmother, Ots-Toch or Alstock, who was born circa 1620 in the Mohawk village of Canajoharie, New
York, was the reason for my delving into the culture and traditions of the Mohawk nation. Ots-Toch married a Dutch settler,
Cornelis Van Slyke, but never left the Mohawk village. I became intrigued with her story and wanted to know more about her
heritage and mine. Brian Brown generously shared his own research, much of which you can read on these pages.
Dreams
The Iroquois had an almost modern view of dreams. A dream represented a symbolic message from one's
soul. One had to try to discern the meaning of dreams and to satisfy the soul's desires, in order to be
psychologically well-adjusted, happy and lucky. The dream-guessing ritual as a part of Mid-Winter
ceremony was an important part of this emphasis on dreams.
