Without realizing it, we in Maine still travel on routes where native peoples and the earliest European traders once walked. We still call some places by versions of their traditional names, without knowing what the names mean. We speed past stands of nut trees and food crops still growing where generations of Wabanaki people once gathered in seasonal villages. This book shows us how much we've been missing.
Hardy brings together his expertise in forestry, horticulture, and environmental science, along with his fascination with language and history, to tell us about New England when its primary inhabitants were the native Wabanaki tribes. With experience in teaching adults and children, Hardy has written this book in an entertaining and accessible style, making it of interest and useful to adults and students alike. Amply illustrated with photos, drawings, or maps on nearly every page.
