Little Abraham or Tyorhansera was a Mohawk Chief who was best known for his neutral stance regarding the Revolutionary War.[1] This was because he believed that neither side was trustworthy.[2]
Little Abraham’s date of birth is unknown, but he died in 1780 in prison after being arrested by Guy Johnson in 1780.[2] The Revolutionary War took place between 1775 and 1783.
Little Abraham lived in a town called Tiononderoge,[3] in the Mohawk Nation, which is a part of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.[3] Little Abraham was a Pine Tree Chief and a member of the Wolf Clan.[2] Pine Tree Chiefs are people who prove themself to be worthy of being in the grand council of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, and cannot pass their position hereditarily.[4]
