Kim Morf, great-granddaughter of Levi General, Chief Deskaheh of the Haudenosaunee, reflects on her Great-grandfather’s mission and the advancement of Indigenous Rights.

More than eighty years later, his great-granddaughter, Kim Morf spoke at the 8^th session of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, sharing her Great-grandfather’s vision,  and how proud he would be to know that such a forum exist. Ms. Morf echoes Chief Deskaheh’s concern, by encouraging all Indigenous Communities to stand up and speak.
