Commentary As Books Women of the Dawn

Women of the Dawn tells the stories of four remarkable Wabanaki Indian women who lived in northeast America during the four centuries that devastated their traditional world. Their courageous responses to tragedies brought on by European contact make up the heart of the book. The narrative begins with Molly Mathilde (1665-1717), a mother, a peacemaker, and the daughter of a famous chief. Born in the mid-1600s, when Wabanakis first experienced the full effects of colonial warfare, disease, and displacement, she provided a vital link for her people through her marriage to the French baron of St. Castin. The sage continues with the shrewd and legendary healer Molly Ockett (1740-1816) and the reputed witchwoman Molly Molasses (1775-1867). The final chapter belongs to Molly Dellis Nelson (1903-1977) (known as Spotted Elk), a celebrated performer on European stages who lived to see the dawn of Wabanaki cultural renewal in the modern era.

Discuss Regarding Books Women of the Dawn

My 87 year old grandma sent me this book after reading it for a book group being so shocked and dismayed at how the U.S. Government has treated the Native Americans and that information is never shared or taught. Of course, I agree, and this book was an interesting and very accessible history of Native American women across several generations.

Each chapter chronicles one woman in history. Interesting true stories. This book was a gift. I felt obliged to read it and may have been not in the right frame of mind when reading it.This is the best book I have found to describe the lives of four extraordinary Abenaki women covering the past three and a half centuries. Between Joe Bruchac and Bunny McBride, a three-dimensional picture is finally emerging of the native people from the extreme northeast corner of America who are said to be extinct (and thus not entitled to a tribal identity and benefits). "Funny, I don't feel extinct!" a friend of mine has told me.There is nothing more gruesome to recount than the full impact

This was a very interesting read, well written and thought provoking. At the end, the author has taken time to explain her methodology and research. I found this part fascinating. I think it would be a good book for high school or college history students.

They wanted information about the past, they said, because they needed it to build a better future.Part biography, part novelization, McBride tells the stories of four Penobscot women called Molly. In her own words, the book is an interpretation of Wabanaki Indian history grounded in historical and ethnographic documentation.Women, particularly Native American women, are too often missing from the historical records which makes telling their stories more challenging. I appreciate McBrides

Found this one in the campground bookshelf and read it in a few days. Really interesting though sometimes moves through the history a bit fast.

A friend recently texted me from a library, she was crying because she realized how much we are mis-educated, under-educated, brain washed and white washed especially when it comes to history. I understood. I have cried, yelled, screamed for the same reasons. The worst of it? The miseducation continues. Especially as it relates to the First Nations, First Peoples of this continent. I am slowly trying to educate myself and I accept it will take a lifetime. This book offers a more personal look at
