Susan M. Hill is a Haudenosaunee citizen (Wolf Clan, Mohawk Nation) and resident of Ohswe:ken (Grand River Territory). She is an associate professor of History and the Director of First Nations Studies at University of Western Ontario.
The Clay We Are Made Of"" is an impressive book. Hill situates herself as a community-based scholar and yet manifests the ability, as Lakota historian Philip Deloria has recommended, 'to look the Euro-American archive full in the face'. Informed by close readings of Haudenosaunee tradition and untapped archival sources, this book maps out the story of the Grand River's people in a fresh and compelling narrative that overturns many previously held assumptions about the extent of Haudenosaunee agency vis-a-vis the Canadian settler state""—Jon Parmenter, Department of History, Cornell University.
