The Allegany Senecas and Kinzua Dam : Forced Relocation Through Two
Generations by Joy Ann Bilharz In the late 1950s, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced its intention to construct a dam along the Allegheny River in Warren, Pennsylvania. The building of the Kinzua Dam was highly controversial because it flooded one-third of the Allegany Reservation of the Seneca Nation of Indians. Nearly six hundred Senecas were forced to abandon their homes and relocate, despite a 1794 treaty that had guaranteed them those lands in perpetuity.

How Rabbit Lost His Tail by Ann Tompert, Jacqueline Chwast (Illustrator) Seneca legend has it that Rabbit once had a long and flowing tail; Tompert (A Carol for Christmas, 1994) and Chwast offer a sturdy look at just how he lost it. Rabbit, busy snacking in a willow grove, is giddy and begins to race around a willow tree. Snow begins to fall, and ``it seemed to Rabbit that the faster he raced around the willow tree, the faster and thicker the snow fell.'' Exhausted, he falls asleep on a willow branch and doesn't wake up until spring, when he discovers that without snow, he is stranded high above the ground. Porcupine, Badger, and Beaver can't help the scared Rabbit climb down, but Squirrel suggests that he jump. Rabbit takes the plunge, but his tail remains behind, stuck in the crotch of the tree. Tompert has fashioned a good and simple porquoi tale from the Native American legend; Chwast's bold, color-drenched artwork, woodcut in style, gives the story a welcome verve.

Little Ship Under Full Sail by Janie Lynn Panagopoulos Nellie Lytle, as a young girl was kidnapped by a Seneca War Chief in 1779, and for several years she lived with the Seneca like one of their own. Nellie was later released and told dramatic accounts of her experience. After Nellie grew up and married, she later became the great grandmother of Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of Girl Scouts. Juliette Low was very attached to the story of her ancestor and in her diaries at Chapel Hill North Carolina, you will find many references to the stories of her great grandmother and how her experience with the Indians, spunk and deterrmination inspired Juliette Low all her life. My research took me to Fort Pitts (Pennsylvania), Fort Niagara (New York), Agency House at Portage, Wisconsin and Savannah, Georgia. It was a wonderful opportunity to trace the life of a remarkable woman Follow this link for pricing and to "Add to your Shopping Cart" |

The 13 Original Clan Mothers : Your Sacred Path to Discovering the Gifts,
Talents, and Abilities of the Feminine Through the Ancient Teachings by Jamie Sams Through the experiences of the archetypal 13 Original Clan Mothers, the reader is guided through life's lessons. Writing of the purpose of being a woman, Sams gingerly walks the feminist precipice between woman as a reproductive machine and woman as a meaningful contributor to society. She magically does not lose her balance, successfully making the case for women fulfilling a personal and cosmic biological role as creators, with men assigned the role of helpmate and protector. It becomes painfully clear that the tasks that men and women have traditionally performed have not been so much at fault as has the value placed on them by society and the individuals contained within it. Sams is a competent writer with a gift for description. Unlike many spiritual bestsellers, the reader does not have to overcome the distraction of faulty writing in order to receive her powerful message.
