Download or read book The Many Captivities of Esther Wheelwright written by Ann M. Little and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An eye-opening biography of a woman at the intersection of three distinct cultures in colonial America Born and raised in a New England garrison town, Esther Wheelwright (1696-1780) was captured by Wabanaki Indians at age seven. Among them, she became a Catholic and lived like any other young girl in the tribe. At age twelve, she was enrolled at a French-Canadian Ursuline convent, where she would spend the rest of her life, eventually becoming the order's only foreign-born mother superior. Among these three major cultures of colonial North America, Wheelwright's life was exceptional: border-crossing, multilingual, and multicultural. This meticulously researched book discovers her life through the communities of girls and women around her: the free and enslaved women who raised her in Wells, Maine; the Wabanaki women who cared for her, catechized her, and taught her to work as an Indian girl; the French-Canadian and Native girls who were her classmates in the Ursuline school; and the Ursuline nuns who led her to a religious life.

Download or read book The Wandering Gene and the Indian Princess Race Religion and DNA written by Jeff Wheelwright and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2012-01-16 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant and emotionally resonant exploration of science and family history. A vibrant young Hispano woman, Shonnie Medina, inherits a breast-cancer mutation known as BRCA1.185delAG. It is a genetic variant characteristic of Jews. The Medinas knew they were descended from Native Americans and Spanish Catholics, but they did not know that they had Jewish ancestry as well. The mutation most likely sprang from Sephardic Jews hounded by the Spanish Inquisition. The discovery of the gene leads to a fascinating investigation of cultural history and modern genetics by Dr. Harry Ostrer and other experts on the DNA of Jewish populations. Set in the isolated San Luis Valley of Colorado, this beautiful and harrowing book tells of the Medina family’s five-hundred-year passage from medieval Spain to the American Southwest and of their surprising conversion from Catholicism to the Jehovah’s Witnesses in the 1980s. Rejecting conventional therapies in her struggle against cancer, Shonnie Medina died in 1999. Her life embodies a story that could change the way we think about race and faith.

Download or read book Mary Wheelwright written by Leatrice A. Armstrong and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book is based on more than fifteen years of oral history and archival research by author Leatrice A. Armstrong, formerly the assistant to the director at the Wheelwright Museum. On a trip to New Mexico around 1920, Wheelwright (1878–1958) met the influential Navajo ritual singer Hastiin Klah. From that moment forward she devoted her life to an understanding of Navajo spiritual life, as well as to the physical health of Native peoples of New Mexico and the stability of Native American and Spanish New Mexican arts. To further these interests she served as a trustee of numerous institutions and funded projects of museums and other organizations throughout New Mexico. She eventually created the Museum of Navajo Ceremonial Art, now named the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian. This biography examines Wheelwright’s upbringing in a wealthy Boston family, her “discovery” of the Southwest, her relationships with artists and activists in New Mexico and elsewhere, and her many achievements."--Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian
