Aunt Mary, Tell Me a Story	Chants & Prayers	Basic Call to Consciousness	Cherokee Dance
Mary U. Galloway	Stan Padill	Akwesasne Notes	Donald Sizemore
From 'The Legend of the First Woman' to 'How the Smokies were Made', Aunt Mary will entertain and educate with these 30 legends from the Cherokee people.	These simple, fervent words of wisdom have been spoken, sung, and danced to by generations, and are imbued with a timeless magic.	Basic Call to Consciousness is a compelling critique of Western Culture and an eloquent text on the rights of Indigenous nations. New contributions by John Mohawk, Chief Oren Lyons, and José Barreiro provide an added depth and continuity to this revised edition. In 1977 a conference on “Discrimination Against the Indigenous Populations of the Americas” was hosted by the Non-Governmental Organizations of the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland in 1977. Presented here are the three position papers that were delivered to the UN by leaders of the Haudenosaunee, or Six Nation Iroquois. These position papers were the first authentic analysis of the modern world ever committed to writing by an official body of Native people. The papers call for fundamental changes in the policies of developed nations and an end to the destruction of the natural world. John Mohawk introduces the events that transpired prior to the trip to UN. Chief Oren Lyons gives an overview on the struggle for self-determination before and since the Geneva meetings. And an afterword by José Barreiro looks to a new era of possibility for Native nations. This edition with its expanded endnotes, index, and bibliography section, is a valuable resource as a college textbook for classes in history, sociology, religion, and anthropology. Not many books portray the heart and courage of so many people in one volume. In a compelling and impassioned voice, Basic Call to Consciousness speaks for the basic rights of humankind and all our relations. Photos, illutrations	Cherokee ceremonial dances and costumes are described, explained and illustrated in full-color in this beautiful 'how-to' book. Takes a practical approach using many simple, easy-to-follow illustrations.

Akwesasne Mohawk, and Tuscarora Traditional Arts	In the Shadow of the Eagle: A Tribal Representative in Maine	An Upriver Passamaquoddy	Unsettled Past, Unsettled Future: The Story of Maine Indians
Kathleen Mundell	Donna M. Loring	Allen J. Sockabasin	Neil Rolde
Available: August 2008 7.5 x 10, 128 pages, color photography Native American / Art For generations, Native American traditional artists in the Northeast have passed on their culture through beadwork, basketry, canoe making, wood carving, and quilting. Through the work and words of over thirty-five traditional artists living and working primarily in Maine and New York, North by Northeast explores these artists' connection to place, tradition, and cultural identity. A tribute to the resourcefulness and creativity of contemporary practicing artists from the Wabanaki, Akwesasne Mohawk, and Tuscarora tribes, the book is beautifully illustrated with the work of photographers Cedric Chatterley, Peggy McKenna, Jere DeWaters, and Peter Dembski.	Available: April 2008 6 x 9, 224 pages, photographs Biography / Native American / Maine Maine is the only state in the nation to have tribal representatives seated in its legislative body, a practice that began in the 1820s. Although the representatives from the Penobscot Nation and the Passamaquoddy Tribe don't have voting power on the house floor, they serve on committees and may chair committees. Donna's first session as representative of the Penobscot Nation was a difficult one—a personal struggle to have a "voice," but also because of the issues: changing offensive names, teaching Native American history in Maine schools, casinos and racinos, and the interpretation of sovereign rights for tribes. Some of the struggles and issues remain as she continues to serve, and the perspective she offers—as a Native American and as a legislator—is both valuable and fascinating.	Publication Date: June 2007 6 x 9, 176 pages, photographs Native American/Biography Drawing on his memories and an oral tradition, Allen Sockabasin returns to his Passamaquoddy village of Mud-doc-mig-goog, or Peter Dana Point, near Princeton, Maine. When Allen was a child in the 1940s and 1950s, his village was isolated and depended largely on subsistence hunting and fishing, working in the woods, and seasonal harvesting work for its survival. Passamaquoddy was its first language, and the tribal traditions of sharing and helping one another ensured the survival of the group.        To the outside world, they lived in poverty, but Allen remembers a life that was rich and rewarding in many ways. He recalls the storytellers, tribal leaders, craftsmen, basketmakers, hunters, musicians, and elders who are still his heroes, and he explains why preserving the Passamaquoddy traditions and language is so critical to his people's survival in modern times. Many rare photographs illustrate this fascinating memoir.        Allen Sockabasin is a musician and storyteller who has performed in the U.S. and Canada. He has worked as a logger, builder, landscape contractor, tribal councilor, tribal chief, HIV/AIDS program coordinator, and substance abuse and child welfare director, but his primary interest is the preservation of the Passamaquoddy language and culture.	6 x 9, 320 pages, photograph Regional History/Native Americans The headlines have been full of controversy over casinos, racinos, land claims settlements, and sovereign rights for Native Americans in Maine- and it’s likely that we’ll be talking about these complex issues for some time yet. An award-winning historian with an enjoyable narrative style, Neil Rolde puts these controversies in context by telling the larger story of Maine Indians.        Rolde explores what we know about the prehistory period in Maine, the first contact between Europeans and Indians, how wars and treaties affected tribal lands, and why Maine Indians were treated differently from many of the other tribes in the United States. You’ll learn about their legends and culture, their struggles with government agents, the long fight for the right to vote, and the history of tribal representation in our legislature.        And then there’s that 1790 federal law that made subsequent state treaties with Indians null and void unless ratified by Congress, and the realization in the 1970s that title to two-thirds of Maine was clouded, leading to the Maine Indian Lands Claim Settlement Act. Was it fair? Is it over?        There are many generous voices in this book, sharing their stories and hopes and fears. It’s a privilege to listen to them and broaden our understanding of the issues faced by Native Americans in Maine.
