In
the early 1800, a Spanish brig with a group of exiled criminals arrived in New
York. The friendly tribe of the Munsee Indians, welcomed the ship; but the crew
feared the friendly natives, and under the command of the ship’s captain PEDRO CASTILLON,
opened fire and killed most of the tribe, including chief AHOTE’s three sons.
The
chief, devastated by the loss of his tribe, asked the medicine man to build a
totem of an Indian warrior, and before killing himself, cursed the totem to
find and kill the descendants of those responsible for the massacre.
