""Nielsen and Heather provide a nuanced and comprehensive exploration of Quaker entanglement with settler colonialism, and point toward ways in which truth telling, restitution, reparation, and reconciliation might be advanced by building on the commonalities between contemporary Quaker peacemaking and that of the Lenape Nation.""--Polly O. Walker, Director of the Baker Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies at Juniata College ""Finding Right Relations: Quakers, Native Americans, and Settler Colonialism is a careful examination of how the Quaker testimonies fared among Friends in colonial Pennsylvania in the face of the anti-Native settler, colonialist attitudes of their neighbors and the often-unexamined view of many of those Friends that European cultures were superior to the cultures of Indigenous people. Friends today must still wrestle with those same testimonies in the face of the culture that surrounds us and the biases we have absorbed from that culture.""--David Etheridge, Friends Journal
