The Faithful Hunter: More Abenaki Stories

Once again, Joseph Bruchac and illustrator John Kahionhes Fadden have come together to show and retell more Abenaki stories of life in the ancient times of the Dawn World, with the early hero Gluskabe. Tales like the title story underscore a deeply held belief in the importance of family life, tales like, "How Indian Summer Came To Be" explain the natural world, while the four interconnected stories of Azeban introduce a more humorous element in the antics of the Trickster Raccoon. Wry, wise, and deeply moving, these 12 tales go beyond the legacy of Native American dispossession, holocaust, and diaspora to offer an enduring message of survival and regeneration.
