Dust Jacket - front:

This is a very interesting book about several groups of Native American Indians. This “First Edition” book was published in 1970 by The Chatham Press, Inc., Old Greenwich, Connecticut. The book measures 9 ¼ inches by 8 ¼ inches and contains 131 pages. This is a former library copy and has the requisite markings. There is a pocket on the back free end page. The dust jacket shows minor signs of wear and is in a protective cover. The dust jacket is scotch taped to the actual book cover. The actual cover of the book itself is cloth covered hard boards with a pictorial of a bird on the front. The cover shows minor signs of wear, hardly worth mentioning. The spine is tight and the hinges are strong. The pages show no signs of rips. Exceptions noted, the overall condition of this book is near very good.

Excerpt – Dust Jacket:
Land of the Four Direction is a documentary experience among the Passamaquoddy, Maliseet and Micmac tribes of Maine and New Brunswick.

They, like all Indians of North America, are proud of their ancestral heritage, angered by broken promises, obsolete policies and second-class citizenship.

Here are their homes, their children, their pain and their joys; testimony to their strength and their struggle. The Indian waits for us to understand – but his patience grows thin.
End excerpt



We want to know Christianity through our ancient ways, not just through the ways of the non-Indian. We want to believe that what we know within us is true. To be forced to believe otherwise is to destroy what we are.
