and strong fighting spirit and a wisdom that was beyond her years. She believed that the Creator chose her as a child to fight this battle for a greater purpose. When she was born Lightning struck the Hospital and she was given the name Ieweras, which means the Women Thunder and lighting Being in Mohawk.
