Author Comment

“My favourite quotation from the American author John Steinbeck goes like this: ‘All my life has been aimed at one book, and I haven’t started it yet.  The rest has all been practice (letter written to John Murphy, 12 June 1961).  For me, this just might be that one book.”

Reviewer Commentary:

John Steckley`s detailed research on the Wyandot/Wendat clan system is the culmination of a lifetime pursuit to unearth and untangle the complicated history of North America’s Indigenous peoples.  This book is a goldmine for all those interested in exploring the organic and evolutionary nature of First Nations communities and will contribute greatly to our understanding of Indigenous strategies of resistance and survival against colonial regimes
