The mohawk warrior society A handbook on sovereignty and survival

Summary: The first collection of its kind, this anthology by members 
of the Mohawk Warrior Society uncovers a hidden history and paints a 
bold portrait of the spectacular experience of Kanien'kehá:ka survival 
and self-defense. Providing extensive documentation, context, 
and analysis, the book features foundational writings by prolific visual
 artist and polemicist Karoniaktajeh Louis Hall (1918–1993)—such as his 
landmark 1979 pamphlet, The Warrior's Handbook, as well as 
selections of his pioneering artwork. This book contains new oral 
history by key figures of the Rotisken'rhakéhte's revival in the 1970s, 
and tells the story of the Warriors' famous flag, their armed occupation
 of Ganienkeh in 1974, and the role of their constitution, the Great 
Peace, in guiding their commitment to freedom and independence. We hear 
directly the story of how the Kanien'kehá:ka Longhouse became one the 
most militant resistance groups in North America, gaining international 
attention with the Oka Crisis of 1990. This auto-history of the 
Rotisken'rhakéhte is complemented by a Mohawk history timeline from 
colonization to the present, a glossary of Mohawk political philosophy, 
and a new map of Iroquoia in Mohawk language. At last, the Mohawk 
Warriors can tell their own story with their own voices, and to serve as
 an example and inspiration for future generations struggling against 
the environmental, cultural, and social devastation cast upon the modern
 world.
