Bookwomble @dabbe I love Keats, and that line "a tale half told" is so poignant. 3mo
TheSpineView ❤️❤️❤️ 3mo
dabbe @Bookwomble I adore Keats as well. Another line that gets me is “whose name was writ in water.“ #gulp 3mo

“Of the past the old man‘s thoughts were, And the maiden‘s of the future.” Love that line.

Song of Hiawatha | Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
post image

Great topic! Difficult to choose only 3! Though not necessarily iconic, Cork O‘Connor (protégée of old Anishinabbe Henry Meloux) typifies human justice through his bravery and tenacity. Hiawatha is a tragic hero, and though some may define Longfellow‘s characters as caricaturistic, other strong themes balance it out. The last is Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of Sûreté du Québec, in Louise Penny‘s series-humble and selfless w. strong convictions.

Eggs P.S. I grew up in a town world-famous for its national monument, peace pipes, Pipestone art/jewelry, quarries that are still used by tribes today, and an annual outdoor theatre presentation of Hiawatha. I was in it as an “extra” as a child-so exciting. #TLT @dabbe (edited) 8mo
dabbe @Eggs How interesting! 🤩🤩🤩 8mo
dabbe It's been forever since I read “The Song of Hiawatha“! I must revisit. Never read books with Cork OConnor; on the TBR. LOVE Inspector Gamache! Thanks for sharing. 💚💙💚 8mo

Got the first glimpse of the Indian culture reading this song. Feel free to recommend something as good as this one.

MissHel How many recs are you looking for? I‘ll start with Firekeeper‘s Daughter, Braiding Sweetgrass, and The Great Vanishing Act. These are some really good (and popular!) steps into indigenous culture. But please, don‘t stop here! 2y
RayHallucinogen @MissHel I'll definitely give it a go. Thank you for the recommendations. 2y
AnnCrystal Way late to be posting a comment here, hope you don't mind.

This was amazingly good (I only saw the movie version based on this, I'm terrible, I know)...although, be aware that this is a historical fiction and should not be held at 100% for it's accuracy. It's heavy on stereotypes.

Just wanted to let you know (you probably already realize all this, my apologies).👇

AnnCrystal The “True“ story of Hiawatha, The Great Peacemaker, The First Clans Mother and their work to create the Haundenosaunee Confederacy (Iroquois or 5/Six Nations) is a far more fascinating story. (edited) 6mo
RayHallucinogen I've been reading a lot of James Fenimore Cooper lately and getting more interested in Mohicans, Iroquois, Pawnees, and Siouxes. Thank you for the helping tips. I'll look for some of those on the Internet. 6mo
AnnCrystal @RayHallucinogen My apologies, I wasn't notified that you responded here.

We really enjoy reading/watching American Indigenous stories/history. Hiawatha has become one of my favorites.

Although, native books and movies are difficult to find (my family doesn't mail-order anymore. In support of local business).

AnnCrystal @RayHallucinogen it's great that you're going to research some more.

I see that @MissHel recommended, Braiding Sweetgrass. I made posts about this book and just tagged you on one that you may find interesting??

Have a good weekend 📚☺️👍.

RayHallucinogen I appreciate it @AnnCrystal . That movie Killers of the Flower Moon is also worth watching depicting 1920s Oklahoma's Osage Nation. 5mo
AnnCrystal @RayHallucinogen Killers of the Flower Moon was truly good. Haven't found a DVD of the movie yet. I did read the book. Incredible storytelling. Written like a perfect fictional mystery...Horrifying that it was a true story. A Masterpiece in storytelling. (edited) 5mo
