"[A] solid and convincing history ... After a long dormant period, historians have rediscovered the Federation of the Seven Nations of the St. Lawrence Valley. Jean-Pierre Sawaya's study fits into a new and dynamic historiography. ... he took on a complex job and carried it out brilliantly." -- Christian Ruel, Recherches amérindiennes au Québec, "The author's rigorous analysis, knowledge of Indigenous political culture combined with a sensitivity about sources enabled him to bring out the implicit information and contextualize the content of the historical documents. The book contributes above all to uncovering the history the often-overlooked Federation of the Seven Nations." -- Sylvie Savoie, The Canadian Historical Review, "The author's rigorous analysis, knowledge of Indigenous political culture combined with a sensitivity about sources enabled him to bring out the implicit information and contextualize the content of the historical documents. The book contributes above all to uncovering the history the often-overlooked Federation of the Seven Nations." Sylvie Savoie, The Canadian Historical Review "a solid and convincing history ?

"Sawaya has mined official reports for information on the election of chiefs, the ceremonies at council sessions, and the significance of kinship terminology in speeches." John A. Dickinson, American Historical Review "A well-documented book that keeps the reader's attention for three hours. Sawaya's writing is efficient, well structured, and fully supported by archival sources." Normand Clermont, Revue d'histoire de l'Amérique française., "A well-documented book that keeps the reader's attention for three hours. Sawaya's writing is efficient, well structured, and fully supported by archival sources." -- Normand Clermont, Revue d'histoire de l'Amérique française., "Sawaya has helped preserve and communicate this almost lost and certainly discounted history of the St. Lawrence Valley peoples that underlies the whole story of Eastern North America." --Quebec Heritage News, "Sawaya has mined official reports for information on the election of chiefs, the ceremonies at council sessions, and the significance of kinship terminology in speeches." -- John A. Dickinson, American Historical Review, "This is a very interesting and wonderfully researched historical monograph. The translation is also very well undertaken, conveying the original French meanings and representations well. It is a historical work that details the origins, processes, rituals, language, and processes of the Seven Nations. I would highly recommend that students and academics, as well as anyone interested in Indigenous confederacies, diplomacy, rituals, language of diplomacy, and early relationships read this work." -- Anishinabek News

Synopsis
Presents original research at its best, combining detailed analysis and systematic investigation, that has enabled the author to dispel the tenacious colonial myth about irrational, submissive, and fatalistic Indigenous peoples. Readers will discover forward-looking people motivated by a deep desire for independence and solidarity., Wendake, Odanak, Wôlinak, Pointe-du-Lac, Kahnawake, Kanesatake, and Akwesasne are communities located all along the St. Lawrence River valley and its tributaries. They have been home to descendants of the Huron-Wendat, Algonquin, Nipissing, and Iroquois nations. The one point these First Nations have in common is that their ancestors were allies of the French and had converted to Christianity. Historians have generally ignored these nations that the French administrators described as "domiciled Indians" ("sauvages domiciliés"). Jean-Pierre Sawaya carefully studied how an alliance of such diverse "missions" was created, developed and conducted to become The Federation of Seven Fires or The Seven Nations of Canada. How did this confederation come about? Who took part and what were their roles? The answers are mined in the massive colonial archives.

- c***t (921)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book I bought was reasonably priced and when it arrived it was in the 'Like New' condition specified in the listing. However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.Catland by Hughes, Kathryn, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US (#356798982438)
