Very few books on the history and culture of the southern New
England Native peoples have been written by the Natives themselves.
Standard academic books read like a clinical autopsy of a dead
culture from many years ago. Contrary to this, A Cultural History
of the Native Peoples of Southern New England provides an
understanding of the ways, customs, and language of the southern
New England American Indians from the Native's perspective. For the
first time, a book written about the Native American peoples of
southern New England is written by the Natives themselves.
Incorporating voices of modern Elders and other Natives to the
historic records of the 1500s and 1600s, everything about the
beauty, power, and richness of their culture has been included.
Sections of the book cover appearance, language, family and
relations, religion, the body and senses, marriage, sickness, war,
games, hunting, and much more. The proud and fiercely independent
Native American peoples of southern New England once walked tall
and proud on this land. With this book, they are now beginning to
walk tall again.
