Book - American Indigenous Democracy

Oren Lyons, Katsi Cook, ed. José Barreiro

Eighteen eloquent essays by contemporary Haudenosaunee leaders and scholars speak about present-day life in their territories, the origins of the United States. They center the Great Law of Peace, sharing Indigenous wisdom and how it can be applied as an alternative to our present political dilemmas.

American Indigenous Democracy: A Call for Interdependence invites us to look back and outside of our cultural, social, and political box in order to move ourselves and our country towards a more just and peaceful place.
