In these stories, the reader will be "transported to a mythical time when the world was young, and people and animals talked to each other and the Great Spirit was still experimenting with the Creation."
from the Preface by Douglas Sharon, Director of the San Diego Museum of Man
Storyteller Gerard Tsonakwa has brought together an extensive collection of traditional and contemporary tales from his Abenaki heritage, colorfully interspersed with masks, sculptures and carvings representing the characters from these fascinating stories. He has also supplied a brief history of the Abenaki people, dating back to the sixeenth century, which includes traditional stories from several centuries.
