Like new. Hardcover with dust jacket. What is the greatest honor a young Wampanoag Indian boy can hope forever? To be chosen to become a pniese, a warrior counselor. That is Tapenum’s dream. But his dream is dashed when other boys are chosen and he is not. As Tapenum goes about his day, he can’t stop thinking about his disappointment. But soon, with great determination, he makes a plan. Today he will begin training himself to become stronger. He will improve his hunting skills and run long distances every day. If he can become very strong in body and spirit, perhaps he will be chosen next year. The third book in the trilogy, this book explores the life of a Wampanoag Indian boy in the 1620s. Photographed in full color at Hobbamock’s Homesite at Plimoth Plantation in Plymouth, Massachusetts, here is an intimate and accurate portrayal of native life at the time of colonization by the Europeans.
