Description
In this book, Georges Sioui, who is himself Wendat, redeems the original name of his people and tells their centuries-old history by describing their social ideas and philosophy and the relevance of both to contemporary life. The question he poses is a simple one: after centuries of European and then other North American contact and interpretation, isn’t it now time to return to the original sources, that is to the ideas and practices of indigenous peoples like the Wendats, as told and interpreted by indigenous people like himself?

Editorial Reviews
A major strength of the book is the argument the author makes for a meaningful dialogue between archaeologists and “Amerindians” in the development of an Amerindian archeology that better reflects the needs and interests of contemporary Native people.
