Summary:
"If one seeks to understand Haudenosaunee (Six Nations) history, one must consider the history of Haudenosaunee
land
. For countless generations prior to European contact,
land
and territory informed Haudenosaunee thought and philosophy, and was a primary determinant of Haudenosaunee identity. In The Clay We Are Made Of, Susan M. Hill presents a revolutionary retelling of the history of the
Grand
River
Haudenosaunee from their Creation Story, through European contact, to contemporary
land
claims negotiations. She incorporates Indigenous theory, Fourth world post-colonialism, and Amerindian autohistory, along with Haudenosaunee languages, oral records, and wampum strings to provide a comprehensive account of the Haudenosaunee relationship to their
land
. Hill outlines the basic principles and historical knowledge contained within four key epics passed down through Haudenosaunee history. She highlights the political role of women in
land
negotiations and dispels their misrepresentation in the scholarly canon. She guides the reader through treaty relationships with Dutch, French, and British settler nations—including the Kaswentha/ Two-Row Wampum (the precursor to all future Haudenosaunee-European treaties), the Covenant Chain, the Nanfan Treaty, and the Haldimand Proclamation—and details outstanding
land
claims. Hill’s study concludes with a discussion of the current problematic relationship between the
Grand
River
Haudenosaunee and the Canadian government, and reflects on the meaning and possibility of reconciliation."--Publisher's website.
