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 relationshipto 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. 410 0$aCritical studies in native history ;$v20. 606 $aIroquois Indians$zOntario$zGrand River Region$xHistory 606 $aIroquois Indians$xLand tenure$zOntario$zGrand River Region 607 $aGrand River Region (Ont.)$xHistory 615 0$aIroquois Indians$xHistory. 615 0$aIroquois Indians$xLand tenure 676 $a971.3/40049755 700 $aHill$b Susan M.$f1971-$01495063 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792908003321 996 $aThe clay we are made of$93719057 997 $aUNINA
