“...Ponder upon the wonder that has happened to preserve the sagas of beautiful regions redeemed at the last moment and enjoy it. It is almost a miracle for the literature of the land!” — Gladys Tantaquidgeon

Gladys Tantaquidgeon dedicated her life to reclaiming & preserving her tribes lands & artifacts. Love the phrase “the literature of the land”.❤️📚

Suet624 Did you like this book? 6y

kspenmoll @Suet624 Very much so. It may be that this tribe is from CT & I know some of their history. This is written by a younger tribe member who interviewed her extensively. 6y
