Kelsey presents students, academics, and researchers with an investigation of the ways in which Eastern Woodlands tribe’s strings and belts of small white and purple shells, traditionally used to depict significant events in the lives of tribal people, are being reinterpreted into contemporary Haudenosaunee tradition. The author has organized the main body of her text in five chapters, covering two-row wampum in James Thomas Stevens’s A Bridge Dead in the Water and Tokinish, the covenant chain in Eric Gansworth’s fiction, poetry, memoir, and paintings, tribal feminist recuperation of the Mother of Nations in Shelly Niro’s Kissed by Lightning, and other related subjects. Penelope Myrtle Kelsey is a faculty member of the University of Colorado, Boulder. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
