This is an illustrated version of how the Christian missionaries tried to teach the story of the Nativity to native American Indians (in what is now Eastern Canada, I think). This book is the illustration of a beautiful song, telling of the birth of Jesus, with musical notation in the back so you can also learn and sing the song. The words of the song are given in English, and also an older version of French and of the native Indian language in which the missionaries were working.

It is a beautiful book and has a wonderful peaceful quality, like snow on a winter's morning. Very nice for the Christmas season.

In a world where we must be careful how we approach the holidays in our clasroom, I found the Huron Carol to follow curriculum guidelines and enchant the reader as well. The illustrations are mystical and haunting in the blues of winter. The story is old, but we listen with new ears to the lovely tale of a Christmas in the far north. A welcome addition to any classroom.

This heartfelt collection of essays and articles tells some familiar life stories. Poignant at times and funny as can be at others, I was very pleased that the quality of writing matched the quality of life the book describes.

Time/Life books are always high quality, interesting, well-researched books. I have had many of their series! I had just finished selling off all my books on ... so I could move 2,500 miles away as unencumbered as possible....but I just had to have this book because I only recently found out I may be of Native American descent and didn't think that there was much information on the Hurons. Here it was.....found it on Amazon....and I received it flawlessly quickly and have been glued to it ever since. I have been doing Indian research for 13 years and this is so well done I will never part with it!

Psychic archeologist George McMullen is the channeler for Red Snake, an Native American of the Huron Nation who lived in 17th-century America. In this fascinating book, Red Snake provides a vivid and historically accurate portrait of his culture and environment. Red Snake provides personal details including his relationship with the elder who became his mentor, his maturation into a skilled hunter, his courtship of an captive Mohawk woman who became his wife, the coming of Champlain and the Europeans, even his own death and funeral ceremony. Highly recommended reading for metaphysical studies, Red Snake is a compelling example of how human consciousness survives physical death and can communicate with the living.

"An historical adventure set in colonial America. The two primary characters progress through a sequence of events involving real people and historical facts. This creates a vivid portrayal of life, sometimes quiet and serene, sometimes violent and deadly, on the expanding frontier.

Richard came to the New World as a boy when his blacksmith father fled England to keep his family from being repeatedly harassed and intimidated by drunken, overbearing, upper-class gentry. In Virginia he helped his father develop a thriving farm which they hacked out of the wilderness. After the death of his mother and sister, and against the withes of his father, he joined a ragtag crew assigned to rebuild the Braddock Road between Winchester and Fort Pitt. There he met a young trapper, Flip Wade, whom he learned to admire and respect. Together they decided to make their fortune in the lucrative fur trade at the frontier outpost of Detroit. On the way, they are forced to helplessly attend the wedding of a teenage captive white girl to a Seneca Chief. (There is a statue honoring this Mary Jamison in Letchworth State Park, New York) They also save the life of a young Indian who had been captured by a band of drunken marauding Hurons and left to die strung up between two saplings. This created a bond with the young brave who was destined to become chief of a Wyandotte village.

The Wyandottes possessed lighter skin and finer feature than their Indian neighbors, characteristics tribal lore indicated began several generations before when a group of Norsemen wintered in their village. These distinctions created animosity with the other red men in the area who accused them of wavering faithfulness to Indian causes because they had been captivated by white man's ways.

Richard returned to Virginia to marry Elizabeth Harrington whom he had known most of his life. They journeyed to Detroit and settled in an abandoned French farm. A few years later they are caught up in the vortex of Chief Pontiac's bloody uprising. The young Wyandotte chief plays a key role in thier survival.

Yourowquains: A Wyandot Indian Queen is one of the best books I have read about the Wyandot Indians and centers on the period of Wyandot history from the late 1700's to the late 1800's. This thoroughly researched book tells the story of Caty Sage, a white girl who was kidnapped from her home by horse thieves and came to be adopted into the Wyandot Nation. Yourowquains (her Wyandot name) was married to three different Wyandot Chiefs during her lifetime and moved with the tribe from Ohio/Michigan to Kansas. I would recommend this book as an important addition to any library with an emphasis on Native American history. The book includes many photographs, maps and illustrations giving the reader a vivid understanding of this period of history when the U.S. Government sought to divide the Wyandot people.

This book was unfortuantely a complete waste of time... I say unfortunately because I just had a book report to do on it and it was just painful to read. Ms. Anderson is off the mark in a few areas in this book.

I do recommend it to all the feminists out there...

Ms. Anderson has added a scholarly and authentic voice to the research on the origins of male domination. I highly recommend this book for anyone who would like to know more about the damage done by Christian missionaries to peaceful egalitarian societies. I explore the same subject on my website...
