So the Mohawk Nation not “all Indian tribes” lol… I guess the hundreds of other tribes don’t matter here
Meanwhile sputniknews.com is running headlines like How Joseph Stalin Became the Chief of the American Indians.[0] Bizarrely this also claims it was the Indian Confederation of America that awarded him this. In 1943 they also awarded this to Dwight D . Eisenhower lol. Not sure if this is the same as Confederation of Indian Americans, the far-right group that tried to replace the BIA.
You’re thinking of the American Indian Federation, not a Confederation of tribes.
Edit: that’s obviously a sensationalist title (I’m not familiar with sputnik news) and the NY times ran two articles with equally sensationalist titles, but it was an honour chosen to recognize the USSR’s work against the Nazis that did include naming him an honourary war chief.

Yeah I think you’re right, thanks. And yeah I realized those are two different NY times articles from different decades entirely
