{"product_id":"9781426947421","title":"The Great Mother's Lament","description":"I am a Mohawk Indian from Akwesasne. One day I was outside listening to the sounds of mother earth, the breeze going through the trees, waters rushing in the river, and birds greeting each other. Nearby was a highway with a different kind of sound. While sitting on the grass, I felt a drum beat matching the beat of my heart come up from the ground. There was a sad song around those beats. I listened to the song and wrote it down. Later I added Iroquois pictographs from the northeastern woodlands or old time picture writing.   I wrote this book to pass on the important message from Mother Earth in a way that more readers will get a feel of the Native American perspective. I hope that the readers enjoy this brief sojourn down a Native path.","brand":"Trafford Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174195282160,"sku":"9781426947421","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781426947421_p0.jpg?v=1763746095","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781426947421","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
