Oronhyatekha
Oronhyatekha (Brantford közelében, 1841. augusztus 10. − Savannah, 1907. március 3.) mohikán származású kanadai orvos, üzletember. Indián neve Lángoló Égbolt-ot vagy Égő Felhő-t jelent. Ismert még Peter Martin néven is. Egy ideig úgy tartották, hogy ő volt az első indián, aki orvosdoktori címet szerzett Kanadában, de kiderült, másodikként kapta meg azt.
Pályafutása
[szerkesztés]Az Ontario tartományban, Brantford város közelében létesített indián rezervátumbanban született, Lydia Loft és Peter Martin hatodik gyerekeként. Nem tudni, hogy hány testvére született, de akár 17-en is lehettek. Rokona volt Emily Pauline Johnson költő és előadóművész. A Martin’s Corner iskolába járt, majd a mohikán intézetben folytatta tanulmányait, ahol cipésznek tanult. Mindkét intézményt az anglikán egyházmisszionáriusai működtették. 1854-1856-ban a Massachusetts állami Wilbraham metodista iskolájában volt hallgató, majd visszatért a rezervátumba tanítani. 1857-ben a Milnor Hall nevű előkészítő iskolában tanult, ahonnan 1858-ban a Kenyon-főiskolára ment tovább.

A MOVE TO LONDON
During the initial debates over his band membership, Dr. Oronhyatekha moved to London in 1875 and re-established his medical practice there. He was also appointed as physician to the nearby Oneida of Thames reserve. Like his appointment to Tyendinaga, this appointment may have resulted from his friendship with John A. Macdonald, although Macdonald was no longer prime minister (after 1874). Clearly they were still friends. Dr. Oronhyatekha wrote to congratulate Macdonald on his re-election to the seat of Kingston, and asserted that his return to the office of prime minister was just a matter of time.
