"One arrow can be easily broken. But when five arrows are bound together, they become strong. As the five arrows are bound together with our ways and customs and this shall symbolize that the five nations are united; we are of One Mind.

Peacemaker to the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca.

The dark history of zombies - Christopher M. Moreman Zombies have a distinct lineage— one that traces back to Equatorial and Central Africa. For three centuries, African people were enslaved and brought to the Caribbean Islands. There, a religion known as vodou developed, along with the belief that a person’s soul can be captured and stored, becoming a body-less zombie. Christopher M. Moreman uncovers the true origins of the undead.

The Taino myth of the cursed creator - Bill KeeganBefore the world of humans began, there was the world of the gods. Four brothers wandered this celestial realm. One day, the brothers snuck into a spirit’s house and spotted a giant gourd hanging in the corner. But as they tried to look inside the gourd, they dropped it. It broke apart, releasing a deluge that formed a new world. Bill Keegan details the Taino myth of Deminan and the sea.
