Dr. Ernest R. (Rich) Rugenstein, a History, Philosophy and Social Sciences Department liaison to the College in the High School Program, announces the publication of his first book, Akwesasne, Divided by more than the St. Lawrence River by Mélange Publishing. It will be available October 1, 2017.
From the back cover:
Annie Garrow, a full-blooded Mohawk, was walking down a road she had walked down many times. With her were twenty-four dyed ash splint baskets. She was heading to Hogansburg a small village in New York. She was still on the reservation, she had relatives that lived all around this part of Akwesasne, but she had crossed an invisible line. An act that would lead to the Supreme Court of the United States of America and change the perceptions Mohawks had about government jurisdictions and their land. Decades later this jurisdictional paradigm would lead to death and destruction.
