RECLAIMING THE ANCESTORS Decolonizing a Taken Prehistory of the Far Northeast by Frederick Matthew Wiseman

An Abenaki by birth and an archaeologist by training, Frederick Matthew Wiseman here makes informed but culturally sensitive use of archaeological and paleoecological data to tell the story of some 11,000 years of Wabenaki prehistory, up to the time of European contact. Combining the viewpoints of a Native American with that of a scientist, Wiseman offers a new and unique account of the Northeast's First Nations.
