Benedict worked with mentor Ray Fadden-Tehanetorens to organize the Akwesasne Mohawk Counsellor Organization, which visited historical sites while meeting with other Native nations and learning about their heritage while traveling in the eastern part of North America.
Their travels would influence the formation of the White Roots of Peace in the mid-1930s.[2][3]
Benedict started the North American Indian Traveling College with Michael Kanentakeron Mitchell, as a continuation of the Counsellor Organization.[4][5]
Benedict founded Manitou College as an attempt to create a college composed of mostly Native Americans. The concept of a degree based on traditional Native knowledge was picked up on by Syracuse University.[3][6]
He inspired Operation Kanyengehaga, a tutoring program conceived by professor Bob Wells at St. Lawrence University.[7]
Benedict was a lecturer and professor at Trent University, where he later served on the PhD committee for Native Studies candidates.[1]

From 1939 until 1941, Benedict was the editor of what was thought to be Akwesasne's first newspaper; the War Whoop. He later worked with the paper Kawehras! ("It Thunders!").[8][1][9]
