Anne of Green Gables, published in 1908 by Lucy Maud Montgomery, is the beloved classic story of an orphan girl, Anne Shirley, who is adopted by the Cuthberts, a family living on Prince Edward Island in Canada. With her wit, charm, and strong spirit, Anne quickly wins the hearts of everyone she meets and learns to navigate the world around her, eventually growing into an independent young woman. Along the way she experiences the joys and sorrows of growing up and develops meaningful relationships that last a lifetime.Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942) was a Canadian author best known for her children's novel Anne of Green Gables. Montgomery wrote over 20 novels, 500 short stories, 500 poems and numerous essays. She was born in Clifton, Prince Edward Island, and was an avid reader, writing her first poem at the age of 10. Montgomery attended Prince of Wales College, where she studied literature, and later taught school in various places before returning to Prince Edward Island to settle down. She wrote her first novel, Anne of Green Gables in 1908, and it soon became a bestseller. Montgomery wrote several sequels to the novel, as well as other books set in Prince Edward Island. Montgomery was an advocate for women's rights and education and was active in the temperance movement, which sought to end the sale of alcohol. Her writing was influenced by her Christian faith, as well as her love for the landscape of Prince Edward Island. Montgomery's works remain popular today, and her life has been the subject of numerous biographies and films. She was inducted into the Canadian Literary Hall of Fame in 1981, and her home in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, is now a National Historic Site. Read more

Christopher Columbus was not the first to discover the Americas, but his voyages led to European exploration of the New World. Rich in resources and natural beauty, the Americas were irresistible to gold-hungry conquistadors. The newcomers gave little thought to those who had called the lands their home, and exploration soon came to signify conquest. The New World -- and the lives of its inhabitants -- would be changed forever. Read more

This story came to me during my days working with my Sister, Andrealisa. She and I were on a journey of our own reconciliation when the Universe brought us back on the same path. This time together was to help her understand my ontology, epistemology, axiology along with some of our methodology (collectively Wabanaki), for the sake of supporting emerging indigenous evaluators. Yet this period moved me into a time of re-awakening for myself."The Bird In a Cage" was inspired by the "bird in the cage" that has been an analogy for many stories of oppression. From Mya Angelou, to Paul McCartney's "Black Bird", my story is meant to share the experience of trauma in a non-threatening manner. This particular story about Cage #015, is a story that was meant to be shared only orally. When shared orally, emotions and reactions can be met with empathy and understanding, no matter who is the Listener. This would go to support the belief that StoryTeller is a sacred and serious title or position in Wabanaki culture. Storytelling can be described as a helping skill. It is used to transmit knowledge, which eventually turns to wisdom for the Listener.For myself, it has become a way to decolonize the impacts of trauma on Indigenous People. It was important for me to share the message of "Its not your fault/Its not our fault" when faced with the disparities and challenges we are faced with today as Wabanaki People. In the spirit of storytelling, I was able to embrace my place as a storyteller. I have been instructed to teach people about trauma, and this story marks the beginning of this new role I've accepted.To learn more about my journey and how I've come to understand some teachings, follow my Instragram at SogiiSteph Read more

From a Newbery Medal–winning author, an “exciting novel” about a colonial girl’s experience during the French and Indian War (Saturday Review).   In the year 1754, the stillness of Charlestown, New Hampshire, is shattered by the terrifying cries of an Indian raid. Young Miriam Willard, on a day that had promised new happiness, finds herself instead a captive on a forest trail, caught up in the ebb and flow of the French and Indian War.   It is a harrowing march north. Miriam can only force herself to the next stopping place, the next small portion of food, the next icy stream to be crossed. At the end of the trail waits a life of hard work and, perhaps, even a life of slavery. Mingled with her thoughts of Phineas Whitney, her sweetheart on his way to Harvard, is the crying of her sister’s baby, Captive, born on the trail.   Miriam and her companions finally reach Montreal, a city of shifting loyalties filled with the intrigue of war, and here, by a sudden twist of fortune, Miriam meets the prominent Du Quesne family, who introduce her to a life she has never imagined. Based on an actual narrative diary published in 1807, Calico Captive skillfully reenacts an absorbing facet of history.   “Vital and vivid, this short novel based on the actual captivity of a pre-Revolutionary girl of Charlestown, New Hampshire, presents American history with force and verve.” —Kirkus Reviews Read more

She truly is, in the words of Mark Twain, "the dearest and most lovable child in fiction since the immortal Alice." Read more
