Description
Compelling, lyrical and deeply moving, Bruchac's memoir explains how he came to fully claim his Abenaki Indian heritage despite his grandparents' unspoken pact: never to discuss Grampa's Indian blood.
Bruchac gracefully weaves themes from his intimate knowledge of Native American cultures with scenes from the past that have shaped his life. For those who enjoy memoirs, Native American writings and books about finding one's cultural heritage - or just a wonderful read - here is a consummate storyteller unfolding his most personal and poignant story of all.
