Available to order now! Deyohahá:ge:, "two roads or paths" in Cayuga language, evokes the Covenant Chain-Two Row Wampum, known as the "grandfather of the treaties." Famously, this Haudenosaunee wampum agreement showed how Indigenous people and newcomers could build peace and friendship by respecting each other's cultures, beliefs, and laws as they shared the river of life.

This is such an important book! I was fortunate to craft a chapter with Suzie Miller archiving the Pen Pal Project and how the Two Row shaped the project. The Pen Pal Project: Bridging the Divide with the Teachings of the Two Row Wampum Treaty – Suzie Miller and Scot Cooper
