The title for Janet Rogers’ (Mohawk/Tuscarora) newest collection of poems comes from a line in the treaty, known as the Two Row Wampum, between Dutch settlers and the Haudenosaunee in the early 1600s. It envisions a perpetual coexistence between Indigenous people and European immigrants. Rogers is a poet, artist, radio broadcaster and documentary producer who channels her unique Indigenous perspective and recent international travels into an emotional set of writings. She connects her personal experiences with cultural wisdom.
