This book is a required text for the National History Day Summer Institute on Jamestown and the Legacy of Citizenship, in which I will participate. I hope that my students will be able to use this book for future research projects.

I like this book because the author tries to reconstruct the local people's perspective on the invasive English colonists. Although this is difficult, since the historical accounts are written from the "conquerors'" point of view, I believe Rountree does a good job.

I'm including this book in the Indigenous Peoples Bookbox.

Came home in the indigenous peoples bookbox. Looks like an interesting read.

We are who we are,

but what does the world know
without way too much talking.

There was some that wanted to read this book! :)

So off it goes to make new friends! ;)
