Nationhood Interrupted by Sylvia Mcadam
Co-founder of the international movement Idle No More, Sylvia McAdam shares nehiyaw (Cree) laws so that future generations may understand and live by them, revitalizing Indigenous nationhood.
The text employs many Cree words, but this is done in a way that makes the meaning clear to non-indigenous readers, and there’s a glossary for those who don’t know the language-- Alexis Kienlen * Quill & Quire *
Sylvia McAdam (Saysewahum) is a citizen of the nêhiyaw Nation, who holds a Juris Doctorate (LL.B) from the University of Saskatchewan and a Bachelor's of Human Justice (B.H.J) from the University of Regina.

She remains active in the global grassroots Indigenous led resistance called "Idle No More" (www.idlenomore.ca).
