The Urgency of Indigenous ValuesAuthor(s): Philip P. Arnold\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Syracuse University Press, United States\nImprint: Syracuse University Press\nISBN-13: 9780815638155, 978-0815638155\nSynopsis\nIn this book, Philip Arnold utilizes a collaborative method, derived from the \""Two-Row Wampum\"" [tel] and his 40 year relationship with the Haudenosaunee, in exploring the urgent need to understand Indigenous values, support Indigenous Peoples, and to offer a way toward humanitys survival in the face of ecological and environmental catastrophe. Indigenous values connect human beings with the living natural world through ceremonial exchange practices with non-human beings who co-inhabit the homelands. Arnold outlines Indigenous traditions of habitation and ceremonial gift economies and contrasts those with settler-colonial values of commodification where the land and all aspects of material life belongs to human beings and are reduced to monetary use-value. \n\nThrough .
