A Clan Mother's Call
Indigenous communities around the world are gathering to both
reclaim and share their ancestral wisdom. Aware of and drawing from
these social movements, A Clan Mother's Call articulates
Haudenosaunee women's worldview that honors women, clanship, and
the earth. Over successive generations, First Nation people around
the globe have experienced and survived trauma and colonization.
Extensive literature documents these assaults, but few record their
resilience. This book fulfills an urgent and unmet need for First
Nation women to share their historical and cultural memory as a
people. It is a need invoked and proclaimed by Clan Mother,
Iakoiane Wakerahkats:teh, of the Mohawk Nation. Utilizing
ethnographic methods of participatory observation, interviewing and
recording oral history, the book is an important and useful
resource for capturing \"living\" histories. It strengthens the
cultural bridge and understanding of the Haudenosaunee people
within the United States and Canada.

Drums along the Mohawk
\"The basis for the epic Technicolor film starring Henry Fonda and Claudette Colbert. Lana and Gil Martin marry in 1776, just as the rumblings of war begin to echo throughout the wilderness of the Mohawk Valley. Though aided by strengthening relationships with fellow settlers, establishing their new home on the frontier is constantly threatened by conflicts with British Loyalists and the Seneca Indians, who use violence to drive people off the land. Through the loss of their home and a pregnancy, and the departure of Gil to join the war efforts, this vivid novel of the American Revolution is a classic testament to the birth of a nation, and to a proud people who triumphed against all odds. Originally published in 1936, this historical American novel was made into a blockbuster movie in 1939. With a new foreword. Vintage Movie Classics spotlights classic films that have stood the test of time, now rediscovered through the publication of the novels on which they were based\"-- Provided by publisher.

Mohawk Saint : Catherine Tekakwitha and the Jesuits
With this richly crafted study, Allan Greer has written a dual biography of Saint Kateri Tekakwitha and Chauchetière, unpacking their cultures in Native America and in France. He examines the missionary and conversion activities of the Jesuits in Canada, and explains the Indian religious practices that interweave with converts' Catholic practices. He also relates how Tekakwitha's legend spread through the hagiographies and to areas of the United States, Canada, Europe, and Mexico in the centuries since her death. The book also explores issues of body and soul, illness and healing, sexuality and celibacy, as revealed in the lives of a man and a woman, from profoundly different worlds, who met centuries ago in the remote Mohawk village of Kahnawake.

Beautiful scars : steeltown secrets, Mohawk Skywalkers and the road home
Even as a kid my existence as the son of Bunny and George Wilson seemed far-fetched to me. When I went over it in my head, none of it added up. The other kids on East 36th Street in Hamilton used to tell me stories of their mothers being pregnant and their newborn siblings coming home from the hospital. Nobody ever talked about Bunny's and my return from the hospital. In my mind my birth was like the nativity, only with gnarly dogs and dirty snow and a chipped picket fence and old blind people with short tempers and dim lights, ashtrays full of Export Plain cigarette butts and bottles of rum. Once, when I was about four, I asked Bunny, \"How come I don't look anything like you and George? How come you are old and the other moms are young?\" \"There are secrets I know about you that I'll take to my grave,\" she responded. And that pretty well finished that. Bunny built up a wall to protect her secrets, and as a result I built a wall to protect myself.
