Interwoven Lives: Indigenous Mothers of Salish Coast Communities - Candace Wellman

Descriere Interwoven Lives: Indigenous Mothers of Salish Coast Communities - Candace Wellman

\nA companion work to the award-winning Peace Weavers, Interwoven Lives depicts the experiences of four additional intermarried indigenous women who influenced mid-1800s Puget Sound settlement. The women came from four distinct homelands--Jenny Wynn, Lummi, Elizabeth Patterson, Snoqualmie, Mary Allen, Nlaka'pamux from British Columbia's Fraser River Canyon, and Alaskan native Mrs. Pickett, who gave birth to one of the West's most important early artists, James Tilton Pickett. The book describes each spouse's culture and family history, highlights descendants' contributions to the Bellingham Bay area, and reveals new details about the Northwest life and family of Fort Bellingham commander and future Confederate Brigadier General George E. Pickett. \n Candace Wellman won the 2018 WILLA literary award for scholarly nonfiction from Women Writing the West, for Peace Weavers.\n
