In the rich tradition of oral storytelling, Chief Irving Powless Jr. of the Onondaga Nation shares intimate stories of growing up close to the earth, of his work as Wampum Keeper for the Haudenosaunee people, of his heritage as a lacrosse player, and of the treaties his ancestors made with the newcomers. He illustrates the importance of respect, peace, and, most importantly, living by the unwritten laws that preserve the natural world.
