Weetamoo: Heart of the Pocassets, Massachusetts - Rhode Island, 1653 by Patricia Clark Smith

3.0

So something that I love about the Royal Diaries series is that they are about real people. I don’t remember if this is one of the books that I read when I was younger. The book came out when I was six, so I could have picked it up in school or public library at one point or another. This is a person who I had no prior knowledge of. Women were such an important part of the Indiginous culture, but often get erased from history, since history was often told by the white male. While this is a fictional depiction of a strong female leader during her youth, I enjoyed the strength that she had as a young teen. I loved the culture of the Indiginous people. I really need to try and read more book to learn more about the culture. Not a solid story and the writing could get a little annoying, but I believe I was annoying in my writing when I was that age too. I like how the author used some of her own journals to help her write from the mind of a young teenager. I wince when I read some of my old journal entries.
