by Clan Mother Shoran Waupatukuay Piper of the Golden Hill Paugussetts

This is a recent book published in 2021 to highlight the culture and history of the Golden Hill Paugussetts from the native perspective. 

From Barnes and Noble's description:  This book is personal to me (the author) as I am the voice for all my ancestors keeping their visions, hopes and dreams alive. They prayed for me for us down from sky world to be born. I'll continue their legacy for generations to come. Every step I take I'm honored to know that I carry sacred circle of my ancestors teachings and gifts. Feeling the strength as strength comes from within. Feeling of powerful positive energy of being on cloud nine knowing I helped those in need of healing, clarity and learning the truth about our nation's respectful sacred ways.

From Barnes and Nobles website: Dawnland Voices calls attention to the little-known but extraordinarily rich literary traditions of New England’s Native Americans. This pathbreaking anthology includes both classic and contemporary literary works from ten New England indigenous nations: the Abenaki, Maliseet, Mi’kmaq, Mohegan, Narragansett, Nipmuc, Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Schaghticoke, and Wampanoag. Through literary collaboration and recovery, Siobhan Senier and Native tribal historians and scholars have crafted a unique volume covering a variety of genres and historical periods. From the earliest petroglyphs and petitions to contemporary stories and hip-hop poetry, this volume highlights the diversity and strength of New England Native literary traditions. Dawnland Voices introduces readers to the compelling and unique literary heritage in New England, banishing the misconception that “real” Indians and their traditions vanished from that region centuries ago.

From Barnes and Nobles website:  In the quaint shoreline town of Mystick, Connecticut, an ancient order has existed since the first violent conflicts between indigenous peoples and foreign settlers. Founded by gray-haired womyn who wanted to ensure that violence was never repeated, these Grays continue to run the town. Once you have joined them, you can't turn back. When Snowy Strangeways returns to Mystick for her grandmother’s Gray funeral, she unearths information about the circumstances of her mother’s murder and unveils the secrets of these Gray womyn, once and for all.

Challenging traditional and long-standing understandings, this volume provides an important new lens for interpreting stone structures that had previously been attributed to settler colonialism. Instead, the contributors to this volume argue that these locations are sacred Indigenous sites.  This volume introduces readers to eastern North America’s Indigenous ceremonial stone landscapes (CSLs)—sacred sites whose principal identifying characteristics are built stone structures that cluster within specific physical landscapes. Our Hidden Landscapes presents these often unrecognized sites as significant cultural landscapes in need of protection and preservation.

In this book, Native American authors provide perspectives on the cultural meaning and significance of CSLs and their characteristics, while professional archaeologists and anthropologists provide a variety of approaches for better understanding, protecting, and preserving them. The chapters present overwhelming evidence in the form of oral tradition, historic documentation, ethnographies, and archaeological research that these important sites created and used by Indigenous peoples are deserving of protection.
