UNN: Origins

The Honey Springs Testimony

Honey Springs was supposed to be remembered as a victory.

In 1863, Isaiah Freeman witnessed what the United Native Nations could not afford to remember. A command. A silence. A testimony that would survive for 163 years.

The official illustrated prologue to United Native Nations: The Weight of Survival.

Origins (online reader, PDF, and audiobook) is free for Ty GWY Fan Club members. Membership is free.

This is alternate-history fiction. The story's events and institutions belong to the United Native Nations Universe.

ABOUT THE CREATOR

Why the
record matters.

“Some records survive because somebody refuses to let power be the only witness.”

UNN: Origins is the illustrated testimony behind The Weight of Survival. It shows the Battle of Honey Springs, Isaiah Freeman's witness, Tahu Watie's silence, and the buried record that waits 163 years to be opened.

There are stories a nation tells because it wants to be believed. And there are records that survive because somebody understood belief was not enough.

Isaiah preserved it anyway.

THE UNN ARCHIVE / OFFICIAL SEAL

A continent
built from survival.

The seal of the United Native Nations brings the Americas, the rising sun, water, beadwork, feathers, and the compass star into one emblem.

Its founding declaration is also a question carried through the record: whose survival, and at what cost?
