Dr. Oronhyatekha was born in 1841 at the Six Nations of the Grand River. In his extraordinary lifetime, while known as Oxford-educated Peter Martin, he became a successful medical doctor and entrepreneur in Victorian Canada. His story is one that interweaves the messages of both cultures. Puts forward a convincing argument that there is much for us to learn from Dr. Oronhyatekha's life. Though there is little doubt that he lived an exceptional life, Jamieson and Hamilton's interpretation instills a vision of late nineteenth-century Ontario few other books can convey. This was a place where Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe individuals continued to wield influence, and maintained an important presence.
