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 book of essays by intergenerational members of Six Nations of the Grand River and their neighbours explores the responsibilities we all share to learn about, raise awareness of, and enact the tenets of the Covenant Chain-Two Row Wampum agreement in order to work toward peaceful, friendly, and respectful co-habitation on the "river of life."
