Riassunto

Over the course of a century until the late 1700s, the British Crown, the Iroquois, and other Aboriginal groups of eastern North America developed a system of alliances and treaties that came to be known collectively as the Covenant Chain. In An Ethic of Mutual Respect, Bruce Morito offers a philosophical interrogation of the predominant current reading of the historical record regarding the Covenant Chain.

Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

Over the course of a century, until the late 1700s, the British Crown,the Iroquois, and other Aboriginal groups of eastern North Americadeveloped an alliance and treaty system known as the Covenant Chain.Bruce Morito offers a philosophical re-reading of the historical recordof negotiations, showing that the parties developed an ethic ofmutually recognized respect. This ethic, Morito argues, remainsrelevant to current debates about Aboriginal and treaty rightsbecause it is neither culturally nor historically bound. Real change ispossible, if efforts can be shifted from piecemeal legal and politicaldisputes to the development of an intercultural ethic based on trust,respect, and solidarity.
