Abstract

"Mohawk Blood is a resonant, sometimes haunting, always beautifully written account of a twentieth-century man coming to terms with his Native American heritage. Michael Baughman, part Mohawk, searches through his past for the meaning that his forebears' traditions have for him today. An industrialized society is no friend to the Mohawks or other Native Americans, or to their ways. Respect for the land, spiritual reverence for Earth and her creatures, personal dignity - these are the Mohawk traditions Baughman holds dear. His search for them among Native Americans of today makes for a memorable and moving memoir."--Book jacket.
