When Allen was a child in the 1940s and 1950s, his village was
isolated and depended largely on subsistence hunting and fishing,
working in the woods, and seasonal harvesting work for its
survival. Passamaquoddy was its first language, and the tribal
traditions of sharing and helping one another ensured the survival
of the group. To the outside world, they lived in poverty, but
Allen remembers a life that was rich and rewarding in many ways. He
recalls the storytellers, tribal leaders, craftsmen, basketmakers,
hunters, musicians, and elders who are still his heroes, and he
explains why preserving the Passamaquoddy traditions and language
is so critical to his people's survival in modern times. Many rare
photographs illustrate this fascinating memoir.
Alone, cold, and frightened, Zoo Sap cries, and his cries attract
the forest animals. Beginning with beaver and ending with the great
bald eagle, the animals rush to protect the baby and shelter him
from the cold until his father returns for him. New, expanded
10th-anniversary edition of this classic that has sold more than
30,000 copies. * New features include an author's note explaining
the seasonal movement of the Passamaquoddy people; a pronunciation
guide to the Passamaquoddy names of the animals in the story; and a
QR code that will let readers link to the audio recording of Allen
Sockabasin telling the story in the Passamaquoddy language. A
beguiling bedtime story and a profound expression of reverence for
the natural world. Lexile Level 620 Fountas and Pinnell Text Level
