Wilson argues passionately for recognition of the Iroquois people's rights, documenting the political and cultural resurgence of a civilization too long ignored by mainstream America. Written with the same literary precision and moral clarity that defined his broader career, the work captures ceremonies, legal battles, and the fierce pride of communities refusing to be erased. Accompanying the main text is Joseph Mitchell's celebrated piece The Mohawks in High Steel, which details the remarkable story of the Caughnawaga Mohawks who became legendary ironworkers on the skyscrapers of New York City — together making this volume an indispensable record of Indigenous resilience and identity in twentieth-century America.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888028528859,"sku":"2026200007103-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5ca5cf2b-77e7-408e-aec7-593f9cfb3e6a.png?v=1781753224","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007103-secondhand-apologies-to-the-iroquois","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
