INDIAN ROOTS OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY

When Europeans arrived on this continent, the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) helped them find their way in the new land, taught them to raise food, and introduced them to the Iroquois rule of law, the Great Law of Peace. This book explores Iroquois influences on the formation of American government in the eighteenth century and on the development of women's rights movements in the early nineteenth century. John Mohawk, Oren Lyons, Audrey Shenandoah, Richard Hill, Donald Grinde, and Sally Roesch Wagner are among the featured authors.
