Description

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.
