Skudakumooch by Sheryl Doiron-Powers Pdf

Thirteen-year-old Jade is off to the woods for a week-long camping trip with her dad. With a backpack full of reading material stowed away in the camper, she settles in for the drive they've made countless times and toward one of her favorite places to be. Not even the local librarian's creepy story about her sister’s abduction back in those same woods when they were children can diminish Jade’s enthusiasm or keep her from enjoying herself. Until everything started to spiral out of control. An accident along the way leaves their truck wrecked in a ditch and her father with a broken leg. Trapped in the wilderness and in immense pain, he's forced to send Jade on foot to find a cell signal to call for help. Armed with little more than her phone and Swiss army knife, she heads off along the rutted dirt road, hours away from civilization. As daylight begins to wane, she realizes she may be stuck in the woods alone in the dark. If that wasn’t bad enough, Jade discovers she's not alone. There's something else out there with her, something evil and sinister. It's stalking her, remaining just out of sight, but always close by, and always watching.

Skadegamutc by M.J. McAleer Pdf

A tale of Wabanaki folklore emerges from deep in the bayous of Louisiana... Twins Maritime and John Stephens, along with their significant others, are afforded the opportunity to take the trip of a lifetime after their college graduation. But the excitement quickly dissipates and the trip turns on a dime, after the foursome inadvertently delve into some local black magic. Their once-perfect lives turn horrific as they learn that it's never wise to mess with the Devil. As they fight to get their lives back, they learn that forgiveness is not easily earned; nor is it guaranteed. Inspired by the tale of the Skudakumooch Ghost Witch of the Wabanaki tribes. Filled with edge-of-your-seat horror, McAleer's nothing-held-back writing style, along with a few surprises; Skadegamutc will sit with you well after you've read the last page. Just as he did in his debut novel, The Churel, M.J. McAleer fuses an old wives' tale--this time originating in Northern Maine and Nova Scotia--and retells it in what is arguably one of the most historically haunted cities in the world: New Orleans.

Algonquian Spirit by Brian Swann Pdf

When Europeans first arrived on this continent, Algonquian languages were spoken from the northeastern seaboard through the Great Lakes region, across much of Canada, and even in scattered communities of the American West. The rich and varied oral tradition of this Native language family, one of the farthest-flung in North America, comes brilliantly to life in this remarkably broad sampling of Algonquian songs and stories from across the centuries. Ranging from the speech of an early unknown Algonquian to the famous Walam Olum hoax, from retranslations of ?classic? stories to texts appearing here for the first time, these are tales written or told by Native storytellers, today as in the past, as well as oratory, oral history, and songs sung to this day. ø An essential introduction and captivating guide to Native literary traditions still thriving in many parts of North America, Algonquian Spirit contains vital background information and new translations of songs and stories reaching back to the seventeenth century. Drawing from Arapaho, Blackfeet, Cheyenne, Cree, Delaware, Maliseet, Menominee, Meskwaki, Miami-Illinois, Mi'kmaq, Naskapi, Ojibwe, Passamaquoddy, Potawatomi, and Shawnee, the collection gathers a host of respected and talented singers, storytellers, historians, anthropologists, linguists, and tribal educators, both Native and non-Native, from the United States and Canada?all working together to orchestrate a single, complex performance of the Algonquian languages.
