This is the story of a cultural leader's lifetime of service to his tribe and its endangered culture. But Allen Sockabasin's remarkable story goes beyond memoir. It offers a compelling and often gut-wrenching account of how the Passamaquoddy people experienced the twentieth century, battling widespread racism and maintaining an uneasy relationship with the forces of "progress" sweeping rural Maine and the rest of the nation. It's a book with a distinct and important perspective. Nobody with an interest in this regions history should miss it. Paperback, 160 pages.
