The Education of John Konkapot, Junior

My posts have been a little scarce lately since I've started two new jobs this month.  The first one was temporary and the second one hopefully will be full-time, permanent with full benefits.  I just have to pass the training, and the company tries hard to help you pass.  Wish me luck!

Colleague Drew Blattner found the below yesterday about the education of John Konkapot, junior.  I'm not sure why he's called an Oneida Indian since John Konkapot was the Mohican chief of Stockbridge, NY.  At this time the main council fire of the Mohicans had moved to the Oneida territory, so perhaps the reference was geographical and not political.  I have seen that in past documents.
