Book Synopsis Sovereignty and Sustainability by : Siobhan Senier
Download or read book Sovereignty and Sustainability written by Siobhan Senier and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-05 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sovereignty and Sustainability examines how Native American authors in what is now called New England have maintained their own long and complex literary histories, often entirely outside of mainstream archives, libraries, publishing houses, and other institutions usually associated with literary canon-building. Indigenous people in the Northeast began writing in English almost immediately after the arrival of colonial settlers, and they have continued to write in almost every form--histories, newsletters, novels, poetry, and electronic media. Over the centuries, Native American authors have used literature to assert tribal self-determination and protect traditional homelands and territories. Drawing on the fields of Native American and Indigenous studies, environmental humanities, and literary history, Siobhan Senier argues that sustainability cannot be thought of apart from Indigenous sovereignty and that tribal sovereignty depends on environmental and cultural sustainability. Senier offers the framework of literary stewardship to show how works of Indigenous literature maintain, recirculate, and adapt tribally specific approaches to community, land, and relations. Individual chapters discuss Wampanoag historiography; tribal newsletters and periodicals; novelists and poets Joseph Bruchac, John Christian Hopkins, Cheryl Savageau, and Melissa Tantaquidgeon Zobel; and tribal literature on the web and in electronic archives. Pushing against the idea that Indians have vanished or are irrelevant today, Senier demonstrates to the contrary that regional Native literature is flourishing and looks to a dynamic future.
Download or read book Dawnland Voices written by Siobhan Senier and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2014-07-23 with total page 872 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dawnland Voices calls attention to the little-known but extraordinarily rich literary traditions of New England’s Native Americans. This pathbreaking anthology includes both classic and contemporary literary works from ten New England indigenous nations: the Abenaki, Maliseet, Mi’kmaq, Mohegan, Narragansett, Nipmuc, Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Schaghticoke, and Wampanoag. Through literary collaboration and recovery, Siobhan Senier and Native tribal historians and scholars have crafted a unique volume covering a variety of genres and historical periods. From the earliest petroglyphs and petitions to contemporary stories and hip-hop poetry, this volume highlights the diversity and strength of New England Native literary traditions. Dawnland Voices introduces readers to the compelling and unique literary heritage in New England, banishing the misconception that “real” Indians and their traditions vanished from that region centuries ago.

Book Synopsis Woven Through the Sweetgrass by : Joyce Chicklas Heywood
Download or read book Woven Through the Sweetgrass written by Joyce Chicklas Heywood and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-25 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains essays written by Claudia (Mason) Chicklas (1926-2008), a mixed-race daughter of an Abenaki Indian woman and an "Old Yankee" white man. Claudia grew up in the Marlboro/Keene, NH area and lived her middle and later years in Massachusetts. The book has been compiled and edited by her 2 daughters, Joyce (Chicklas) Heywood and Margaret (Chicklas) Perillo to include family history and experiences of the Native American side of the family, dating from the 1870s to the late 1990s. It takes the reader through the beginnings of Claudia's grandfather, Israel Sadoques' married life with Mary (Watso) Sadoques; their beginnings on the Indian reserve (Odanak) in Canada; their journey to CT and their subsequent arrival in Keene, NH; to stories of their 12 children (8 of whom survived to adulthood); to Israel and Mary's children's old age; and right on to Claudia's own older years. It depicts not only how their race affected their lives and how they worked to overcome discrimination to become accepted and respected as valuable members of their community, but also their everyday experiences which all people, no matter what their race, have in common. It is both serious and lighthearted, written in a style reminiscent of James Herriot's, All Creatures Great and Small. This family became well-known in the area of Keene, NH, with perhaps Claudia's mother, Elizabeth being the best known today. Elizabeth had a page about her in the Winter 2008 edition of Minority Nurse Magazine, titled "Who really was the first American Indian RN?" These essays, along with the many accompanying photographs will expand on the known information for this family, as well as give readers and researchers alike, a chance to get to know and appreciate them better.
Book Synopsis Native Moons, Native Days by : Carol W. Bachofner
Download or read book Native Moons, Native Days written by Carol W. Bachofner and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-11-16 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Our words are a clearing, a place for fire," writes Carol Bachofner, in perhaps her finest book of poems yet. Her words are always affecting, vivid, numinous. Here, too, they are the words of her Native relatives and ancestors. Clearing a space for Abenaki place names, food terms, and exhortations to gather together, Bachofner tends a poetic fire that joins her to such tribal luminaries as Joseph Bruchac, Cheryl Savageau, and Joseph Laurent. Siobhan Senier, Associate Professor of English Faculty Fellow, Sustainability Academy University of New Hampshire What a gift to read Carol Bachofner's poetry, full of words and phrases from her native Abenaki language that make us long for a kinder world, a world that shows us the possibilities of turning away from the face paints of war - red and black - and opt instead for yellow, the color of peace. Very good poems, indeed. Alice M. Azure Along Came a Spider, Games of Transformation
