Publisher's Synopsis
Wah Sash Kah Moqua: Or Thirty-Three Years Among The Indians is a memoir written in 1897 by Mary Sagatoo, a Native American woman who spent over three decades living among the Ojibwe tribe in Michigan. The book provides a detailed account of Sagatoo's life and experiences, including her childhood in a Native American community, her marriage to a French-Canadian fur trader, and her eventual adoption into the Ojibwe tribe.Throughout the book, Sagatoo shares her insights into Ojibwe culture and traditions, as well as her observations of the impact of European colonization on Native American communities. She also discusses the challenges she faced as a woman living in a male-dominated society, including the loss of her children and the difficulties of navigating the complex relationships between different tribes and European settlers.Wah Sash Kah Moqua is an important historical document that provides a unique perspective on Native American life and culture in the late 19th century. It is also a testament to the resilience and strength of Native American women, who often played a vital role in maintaining their communities in the face of adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
