Before the testimony was read, it was buried.
Honey Springs, Indian Territory, 1863.
The battle would enter history. What happened afterward was never meant to.
United Native Nations: Origins: The Honey Springs Testimony is the official visual prologue to Ty "GWY" Wilson's United Native Nations: The Weight of Survival, an alternate-history saga exploring Native American sovereignty, Black and Native history, public memory, power, identity, and the consequences of the truths nations choose to preserve or forget.
In the aftermath of the Battle of Honey Springs, Isaiah Freeman witnesses events that challenge the story history will eventually tell. His testimony is written, wrapped in oilcloth, and buried beneath a burned oak, hidden beyond official custody while generations rise and fall around it.
For 163 years, the record survives.
In 2026, Adelaide Freeman, the final keeper of the testimony, carries the preserved record into the Continental Tribunal. What was buried in 1863 now enters the public record, connecting Isaiah Freeman, Tahu Watie, Colonel Red Star, Adelaide Freeman, and Kai Freeman-Watie across generations.
But revealing the truth is only the beginning.
Presented as an illustrated reconstruction from THE UNN ARCHIVE, Origins introduces the historical wound at the center of the United Native Nations universe and poses the question that will echo throughout the series:
What do we owe the truth when the truth implicates those we love?
Part historical reckoning, part speculative archive, and part visual storytelling experience, United Native Nations: Origins invites readers into a world where history is not dead, testimony carries consequences, and survival sometimes depends upon one person refusing to let the record disappear.
Some records were never meant to survive.
Some survived anyway.
