Are you a complior? a dominator? A defector? And is complior spelled correctly? And should this sentence start and end with the word and? 
This is a book about cultures and the culture clubs that each of us belongs to. It's about lying (we're all liars, says Minsos), competition and mannering. It's also about the nature and politics of language. Language changes and some of us – some culture clubs – resist change for reasons that we don't understand. 
Culture Clubs are composed of influencers and submitters. Within the club, influencers set manners; submitters or compliors copy them. One's copying the customs, habits and speech patterns of the prestigious describes the mannering process. Defectors have their own resources and don't need to compete with others to sustain existence. 
Dr. Minsos has written a rude book. Neither a postmodernist nor a structuralist, Minsos holds that culture, while important, is just not that important. The book, however, is important to anyone who wants to understand more about culture, language and manners. And that's the truth.

Sky Walker Tehawennihárhos Charter is the final book of the Mohawk trilogy, which covers a year-in-the-life. 1845-46. The Grand River Navigation Company has many steamboats and rafts on the river but the Navigation is in debt and has bankrupted the Haudenosaunee/Six Nations Confederacy. The company does not pay dividends nor give any return to investors. Jeddah Golden, Jennet Ferguson and Squire Tehawennihárhos Davis scramble to secure their own finances. Each wishes, moreover, to make a lifestyle change. Jeddah wants peace and quiet and a woman to love but he hunts for Bride Munny anyway, she who has run away from his farm in Uxbridge. Jennet wants to find Squire but at the same time she longs to turn into that woman, the brave soul who rises above a numbing winter existence on a Canadian farm. The thought of owning land within Six Nations Territory possesses Squire but to fulfill his dream he needs friends and allies. He wonders why Jennet has not answered his letter. Matters get resolved but not before each protagonist faces his or her demons in a time-honoured test of character....
