Algonkian: Lifestyle of the New England Indians

Algonkian is a comic-style book with hand-lettered text that graphically depicts life in New England before the English invasion. Author Bob Eaton created several dozen 40-page "comic" books focused on the New England Indians. In Algonkian we learn about the several New England tribes that shared a language and a culture. We meet Squam and Shomet as small children and watch them grow up to be parents themselves. Along the way we learn about Native American childrearing, hunting, agriculture, warfare, and spirituality. Bob Eaton's artwork opens up a whole new vista on a way of life that was ruthlessly destroyed by self-righteous invaders in only a few generations.
