Welcome to Guaní™ Press

“American Indigenous Democracy: A Call for Interdependence is a much-needed and well-researched book that documents the truth that democracy was developed in North America, and is its gift to the world. On this fragile planet, only understanding the roots and hopes of democracy can give us a safe future. The Haudenosaunee were living it, they are still, and we have much to learn from them.’’

– Gloria Steinem, writer, political activist, and feminist organizer

"I have much gratitude for the lives and legacies of these true elders, the matriarchs whose stories grace these pages. Their narratives, rich and varied, gentle and fierce at the same time are a distillation of love for their peoples. The examples of their lives offer guidance on a path of healing, of resilience and courage. In my language, our word for elder women means ‘They hold everything together.’ We are better for their presence.”

– Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of Braiding Sweetgrass
