BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - s4story -- "With a useful bibliography, as well as a preface and authors note that speak to the contemporary inspiration for the book, this story should be on all shelves. A timely, must-read tale about overcoming divisions as a nation." —Kirkus Starred Review

In A Peacemaker for Warring Nations", renowned Native author Joseph Bruchac draws from the teachings of both contemporary and past Iroquois tradition bearers in telling the story of how "the Peacemaker," a divine messenger sent by the Creator, helped to bring an end to the bitter warring of the Five Iroquois Nations (the Mohawk, Onondaga, Oneida, Cayuga, and Seneca) and how he founded the famed League of the Iroquois, which was later to influence the US Constitution. The book is beautifully and accurately illustrated by David Kanietakeron Fadden, a respected Mohawk artist whose work honors his deep indigenous roots.
