Canadian Book Review ~ Grandfather of the Treaties

Happy publication to Grandfather of the Treaties: Finding our Future Through the Wampum Covenant by Daniel Coleman, published by Wolsak & Wynn (November 2024).

In Grandfather of the Treaties¸ Daniel Coleman traces the long-neglected history of the Covenant Chain of Friendship and the Two Row Wampum Covenant, the founding agreements made between the Haudenosaunee and European nations as they first encountered each other and strove to live together in peace. In this meticulously researched book, illustrated with original drawings by Tuscarora wampum expert Rick Hill, Coleman explains not only the covenants that formed the very basis of Canada, but the history and role of wampum itself and how the Covenant treaty tradition shows us the way we can live peacefully together, with all of our human and non-human neighbours, on the river of life that sustains us all.
