| Description: |
For countless generations prior to European contact, land and territory informed Haundenosaunee thought and philosophy, and was a primary determinant of Haudenosaunee identity. In The Clay We Are Made Of, Susan M. Hill presents a retelling of the history of the Grand River Haundenosaunee from their Creation Story, through European contact to contemporary land claims negotiations. |
| Synopsis: |
If one seeks to understand Haudenosaunee (Six Nations) history, one must consider the history of haundenosaunee land. For countless generations prior to European contact, land and territory informed Haundenosaunee 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 Haundenosaunee 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 Haundenosaunee language, oral records, and wampum strings to provide a comprehensive account of the Haundenosaunee relationship to their land.Hill outlines the basic principles and historical knowledge contained within four key epics passed down through Haundenosaunee 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 Haundenosaunee-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 Haundenosaunee, and the Canadian Government, and reflects on the meaning and possibility of reconciliation. |
