Title: Nationhood Interrupted
Description: nêhiyaw (Cree laws are passed down through oral tradition and land-based use, utilizing stories, songs, ceremonies, and other sacred rites. Colonization has dramatically caused the heart-breaking loss of Indigenous languages customs and inherent systems. This has necessitated a departure from oral tradition to record and write the physical laws of the nêhiyawak. The spiritual laws can never be written down. As a result, this book is the first of it's kind.

McAdam, a co-founder of the international movement Idle No More, shares nêhiyaw laws so generations of nêhiyaw and non-Indigenous people may understand and live by them to revitalize Indigenous Nationhood. Readers will gain an understanding of and insight into thoughts and worldview of nêhiyawak before and during the Treaty making process. It is McAdam's dream, shared by many, that freedom, liberation, and self-determination will lead Indigenous peoples away from the pain of genocide and colonialism
