American Indigenous Democracy: A Call for Interdependence

American Indigenous Democracy: A Call for Interdependence serves as a welcoming volume for a much needed conversation about the origins of our founding documents and more importantly, about the wisdom of Native American ways of living and how they can be applied as an alternative to our present political dilemmas. Through eighteen eloquent essays, we hear from contemporary Haudenosaunee leaders and scholars speak about life in present-day reservations, and most importantly, about the Great Law of Peace, the unifying code of governance that united these once-warring tribes into one of the most formidable, and truly democratic league of nations that the continent had ever witnessed. 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.
