Book Synopsis
For countless generations prior to European contact, land and territory informed Haundenosaunee thought and philosophy, and was a primary determinant of Haudenosaunee identity. In The Clay We Are Made Of, Susan M. Hill presents a retelling of the history of the Grand River Haundenosaunee from their Creation Story, through European contact to contemporary land claims negotiations.

Trade Review
The Clay We Are Made Of"" is an impressive book. Hill situates herself as a community-based scholar and yet manifests the ability, as Lakota historian Philip Deloria has recommended, 'to look the Euro-American archive full in the face'. Informed by close readings of Haudenosaunee tradition and untapped archival sources, this book maps out the story of the Grand River's people in a fresh and compelling narrative that overturns many previously held assumptions about the extent of Haudenosaunee agency vis-a-vis the Canadian settler state""—Jon Parmenter, Department of History, Cornell University.
