{"product_id":"deyohahage-sharing-the-river-of-life","title":"Deyohahá:ge : Sharing the River of Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eEdited by Daniel Coleman, Ki'en Debicki and Bonnie M. Freeman. Ki'en Debicki is a queer, Kanien’keha:ka, enby poet living and loving along the banks of Kanyatarí:io (beautiful lake) in Anonwarore’tsherakayon:ne (Hamilton ON). Bonnie M. Freeman is Algonquin\/Mohawk and a member of the Six Nations of the Grand River.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeyohahá:ge, “two roads or paths” in Cayuga language, evokes the Covenant Chain-Two Row Wampum, known as the “grandfather of the treaties.” Famously, this Haudenosaunee wampum agreement showed how Indigenous people and newcomers could build peace and friendship by respecting each other’s cultures, beliefs, and laws as they shared the river of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten by members of Six Nations and their neighbours, this book’s chapters introduce readers not only to the 17th-century history of how the Dutch and British joined the wampum agreement, but also to how it might restore good relations today. Many Canadians and Americans have never heard of the Covenant Chain or Two Row Wampum, but 200 years of disregard have not obliterated the covenant. We all need to learn about this foundational wampum, because it is resurging in our communities, institutions, and courthouses—charting a way to a future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe writers of Deyohahá:ge delve into the eco-philosophy, legal evolution, and ethical protocols of two-path peace-making. They tend the sacred, ethical space that many of us navigate between these paths. They show how people today create peace, friendship, and respect—literally—on the river of everyday life.\u003cspan class=\"text-truncate\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003cbr\u003eOhèn:ton Karihwatéhkwen: The Words That Come Before All Else\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements, Greetings, and Thanks\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction, Daniel Coleman, Ki’en Debicki, and Bonnie Freeman\u003cbr\u003eSection One: Original Instructions\u003cbr\u003eGä•sweñta’ Reflections – Oren Lyons\u003cbr\u003eWhere the Roots Touch: tsi niyothahinen ne Tehontatenentshonteronhtáhkwa – Amber Meadow Adams\u003cbr\u003eWunnáumwash: Wampum Justice – Kelsey Leonard\u003cbr\u003eThe Chain, Naturally Understood – Kayanesenh Paul Williams\u003cbr\u003eSection Two: Learning from the River\u003cbr\u003eGuswenta Space: An Invitation to Dialogue – David Newhouse\u003cbr\u003eNavigating the Two Row in the Academy – Vanessa Watts\u003cbr\u003eTwo Rows of Reconciliation – Rick Hill\u003cbr\u003eBelow Decks in the Covenant: Blackness in the Two Row Tradition – Phanuel Antwi\u003cbr\u003eTowards Peace: Living in the Three White Rows of the Two Row – Sara General\u003cbr\u003eSection Three: Living on the River\u003cbr\u003eThe Pen Pal Project: Bridging the Divide with the Teachings of the Two Row Wampum Treaty – Suzie Miller and Scot Cooper\u003cbr\u003eDeyohahage Gihe gowa’hneh: Living the Two Row Wampum, on the Grand River – Ellie Joseph and Jay Bailey\u003cbr\u003eThe Deep and Rippling Consciousness of Water: Youth Experiences of Transition with the Two Row on the Grand River Paddle – Bonnie Freeman and Trish van Katwyk\u003cbr\u003eContributors\u003cbr\u003eGlossary – Taylor Leeal Gibson\u003cbr\u003eNotes\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003cspan class=\"min-w-0 text-truncate\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"min-w-0 text-truncate\"\u003eDownload Educators Guide PDF\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Wilfrid Laurier University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56394854367537,"sku":"bvd1789935139129","price":18.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/0925\/7009\/files\/deyohahage-sharing-the-river-of-life_1.jpg?v=1789935144","url":"https:\/\/canistersealfit.shop\/products\/deyohahage-sharing-the-river-of-life","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
