This book is an outstanding example of successful, reciprocal collaboration between tribal scholars and academics. These stories are short enough to allow for easy reading and accessible teaching, but they are not simplified versions. They allow readers to see the depth of Penobscot philosophy, ecology, humor, and knowledge. I cannot stress enough how necessary these stories are now, in the twenty-first century. --Lisa Brooks, author of Our Beloved Kin: A New History of King Philip's War Bombarded by books in English, Wabanaki children and community readers now have access to this important bilingual book that emphasizes language use and acquisition. For most academics and general readers, the bilingual stories can reposition our place of privilege by encouraging us to deeply appreciate the important nuances in Penobscot history. --Micah A. Pawling, editor of Wabanaki Homeland and the New State of Maine: The 1820 Journal and Plans of Survey of Joseph Treat
