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.

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.)…mehr

Autorenporträt
William A. Haviland studied anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania, where he received his PhD in 1963. He is now professor emeritus at the University of Vermont, where he founded the department of anthropology. Previously he taught at Hunter and then Barnard College in New York City. He has done archaeological work in Belize, Guatemala, South Dakota, and Vermont. He studied the bones of kings and commoners at the ancient Maya city of Tikal and carried out ethnographic and ethnohistorical research in Maine and Vermont. His one hundred or so publications include fourteen books, among these five textbooks, one on Vermont Indians (coauthored with Marjorie Power), one on Maine Indians, and four monographs on work done at Tikal, Guatemala. Haviland and his wife, Anita, live on Deer Isle, where he serves on the boards of the Deer Isle-Stonington Historical Society and the Abbe Museum in Bar Harbor.
