About the Author
(1918-1993) was a prolific Kanien'kehá a painter
and writer from
Kahnawake, whose work continues to inspire generations of indigenous
people
today. A man of all trades, Karoniaktajeh worked as a butcher, a
carpenter, and
a mason. Initially groomed for a life in the priesthood, Karoniaktajeh
(on the
edge of the sky) began his life as a devout Christian before later
turning
against what he saw as the fallacies of European religion, and deciding
to
reintegrate himself into the traditional Longhouse and help revive "the
old
ways." Appointed as the Secretary of the Ganienkeh Council Fire, he
became a prominent defender of indigenous sovereignty, and was
instrumental in the reconstitution of the Rotisken'rhakéhte (Mohawk
Warrior
Society). His distinctive artwork includes the iconic Unity Flag, which
still
symbolizes indigenous pride across Turtle Island (North America). His
legacy as
a revivor and innovator of traditional Mohawk culture includes his works
The
Warrior's Handbook (1979) and Rebuilding the Iroquois Confederacy (1980).
Both these texts, which served during their time as a political and cultural
call to arms for indigenous communities across Turtle Island, were initially
printed by hand and distributed in secret.<br /><br />Kahentinetha Rotiskarewake is a
Kanien'kehá ka from the Bear Clan in Kahnawà ke. Initially working in
the fashion industry, Kahentinetha went on to play a key role as speaker
and writer in the indigenous resistance, a role which she has fulfilled
consistently for the last six decades. During this time she witnessed
and took part in numerous struggles, including the blockade of the
Akwesasne border crossing in 1968. She has published several books
including Mohawk Warrior Three, and has been in charge of running
the Mohawk Nation News service since the Oka Crisis in 1990. She now
cares for her twenty children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Kahentinetha means "she who is always at the forefront."<br /><br />Philippe Blouin writes, translates and studies political anthropology and philosophy in Tionni'tio'tià kon (Montreal). His current PhD research at McGill University seeks to understand and share the teachings of the Tehiohate (Two Row Wampum) to build decolonial alliances. He has published essays in Liaisons, Stasis, and an afterword to George Sorel's Reflections on Violence.<br /><br />
Matt Peterson is an organizer at Woodbine, an experimental space in New York City. He is the co-director of The Native and the Refugee, a multi-media documentary project on American Indian reservations and Palestinian refugee camps.
<br /><br />Malek Rasamny co-directed the research project The Native and the Refugee and the feature film Spaces of Exception. He is currently a doctoral candidate in the department of Social Anthropology and Ethnology at the Ecole des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS) in Paris."About the title" may belong to another edition of this title.
