Kahrenhá wi finds something beautiful in her grandmother's cedar chest - two rows of purple beads and three rows of white, strung together in a pattern older than anyone she knows.
What is it? she asks. It speaks, says Akhsótha. If you know how to listen.
The Teioháte Kaswenta - the Two Row Wampum - is one of the oldest treaties on Turtle Island, made in 1613 between the Haudenosaunee and the first Europeans on their lands. Two boats on the same river. Neither steers the other. That is the agreement. That is the promise. And the belt has been keeping that memory alive for over 400 years.
- The Two Row Wampum explained through story, not facts - ages 5-8
- Authentic Kanien'kehá ka teaching from Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory
- Kanien'kéha (Mohawk language) words with full pronunciation guide
- Essential Truth and Reconciliation curriculum resource for Canadian classrooms
- Written by a Mohawk author from Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory
Two boats. One river. The promise is still alive.
Perfect for ages 5-8, Grades K-3 classrooms, school library collections, Truth and Reconciliation curriculum, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation events, and every family learning what it means to be good neighbours on Turtle Island.
A companion to Sky Woman's Wonderful Journey, Turtle Island's Seasons, The Three Sisters Garden, She Sang Me Into the World, and My Brother Sees the World Differently - all by Jem Maracle.
