At the Place of the Lobsters and Crabs: Indian People and Deer Isle, Maine, 1605-2005
For thousands of years, native people lived, loved and labored on Deer Isle as well as the surrounding islands and peninsulas of east Penobscot Bay. Then, just over 400 years ago, their lives were disrupted by the arrival of strangers who, over the next 150 years, took control of their homeland. But the original people didn't just go away. Instead they survived this assault by adapting in creative ways to life in a world controlled by others. This book is the story of their cultural survival in one particular neighborhood of the Maine coast over the past 400 years. (Includes 38 black-and-white illustrations.)
