Frank Decontie Pine
“Frank traveled regularly on missions of peace with the grand old man William Commanda, the spiritual leader of the Canadian Algonquins, the great canoe maker, sayer of the Algonquin prophecies, and one of the Sunbow Five peace keepers. Frank was William’s primary assistant and his spiritual protector. Without Frank, William tended to fall prey to the influences of others who would take advantage of him – including the Canadian government. Frank was to inherit the role of keeper of the Algonquin Seven Fires Wampum Prophecy Belts – an eastern counterpart to those of the Hopi. Frank was a Native advisor to ENTS and visited Mohawk Trail State Forest several times. He was at the dedication of his tree. In 1993 he and William Command conducted a powerful ceremony at the cave near his tree.
