Red Jacket (1758 - 1830), also called Sagoyewatha [Keeper Awake because of his oratorical skills], was a chief of the Senaca Nation in what became Buffalo, New York. His magnificent oratory masked his schemes to maintain his position despite double-dealing against his people's interests. He was called "Red Jacket" due to the red coats he wore while on the British side during the American Revolution. The reader of this publication "Red Jacket - The Orator" will delve into the details of his protesting white influence on Seneca customs, religion, language and preservation of Indian jurisdiction over Seneca lands.
