I thought the recognition of the Pocasset oral tradition in this diary was excellent, and this read was pretty quick because this "diary" is fairly short. Nothing especially great about this diary, just mildly interesting (which is perhaps a bit of a let down for such a significant historical figure that doesn't receive hardly any attention). I really liked my introduction to Weetamoo as a young girl, so in that regard, this was an excellent middle-grade read.

Read this years ago. My first foray into Native American royalty, naturally it was very different from my pre-conceived notions of royalty (based on European Royal Diaries books). I don't remember much else except that it has a historical, sad ending.
