EATENONHA: NATIVE ROOTS OF MODERN DEMOCRACY

Book ID/图书代码： 08763019C00004

English Summary/英文概要： Eatenonha is the Wendat word for love and respect for the Earth and Mother Nature. For many Native peoples and newcomers to North America, Canada is a motherland, an Eatenonha - a land in which all can and should feel included, valued, and celebrated. In Eatenonha Georges Sioui presents the history of a group of Wendat known as the Seawi Clan and reveals the deepest, most honoured secrets possessed by his people, by all people who are Indigenous, and by those who understand and respect Indigenous ways of thinking and living. Providing a glimpse into the lives, ideology, and work of his family and ancestors, Sioui weaves a tale of the Wendat’s sparsely documented historical trajectory and his family’s experiences on a reserve. Through an original retelling of the Indigenous commercial and social networks that existed in the northeast before European contact, the author explains that the Wendat Confederacy was at the geopolitical centre of a commonwealth based on peace, trade, and reciprocity. This network, he argues, was a true democracy, where all beings of all natures were equally valued and respected and where women kept their place at the centre of their families and communities. Identifying Canada’s first civilizations as the originators of modern democracy, Eatenonha represents a continuing quest to heal and educate all peoples through an Indigenous way of comprehending life and the world.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 埃特诺哈是温达语中对地球和大自然的爱和尊重的意思。对于许多北美的原住民和新移民来说，加拿大是祖国，是埃特诺哈——一个所有人都能而且应该感到被包容、被重视和被颂扬的国度。在《埃特诺哈》中，乔治•苏伊展示了一个被称为“海威家族”的温达族的历史，揭示了他的人民、所有土著人以及那些理解和尊重土著人的思维方式和生活方式的人所拥有的最深、最光荣的秘密。通过对其家族和祖先的生活、意识形态和工作的一瞥，苏伊编造了一个温达家族历史轨迹的故事，以及他家族在保护区的经历。在与欧洲连接之前，通过在东北地区存在的土著商业和社会网络的复述，作者解释了温达联盟是以和平、贸易和互惠为基础的英联邦地缘政治中心。他认为，这个网络是一个真正的民主国家，在这里，所有种类的人都受到同等的重视和尊重，妇女在家庭和社区中保持着中心地位。将加拿大的第一个文明确定为现代民主的发起者，埃特诺哈代表着一种通过土著人理解生活和世界的方式来治愈和教育所有民族的持续追求。（YYW）
