Cornplanter, Jesse J., 1889-1957
Jesse J. Cornplanter (September 16, 1889 – March 18, 1957) was an actor, artist, author, craftsman, Seneca Faithkeeper, and World War I decorated veteran. He illustrated several books about Seneca and Iroquois life.
Jesse Cornplanter was born in 1889 to Seneca parents Nancy Jack and Edward Cornplanter on the Cattaraugus Reservation in New York. His father (Seneca name Sosondowah) was a Faithkeeper of the Longhouse religion. His mother was of the Snipe Clan of the Tonawanda, and the matrilineal traditions of the tribe passed the Snipe Clan designation to the children. He had six sisters and three brothers, but because of childhood diseases, only two of his sisters survived, Carrie and Anna. He was the last male direct descendant of Cornplanter (Gyantwachia), an important 18th-century Haudenosaunee leader and Seneca war chief during and after the American Revolutionary War. Jesse Cornplanter’s Seneca name was Hayonhwonhish (He Strokes the Rushes).
