520 _a"The Belt of Seven Totems: A Story of Massasoit" by Kirk Munroe is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds during the era of the early American Indian tribes, primarily focusing on the Wampanoag chief Massasoit and his son, Nahma. The story explores themes of peace, conflict, and the complex relations between indigenous tribes and European settlers, particularly as it delves into Massasoit's strategic alliances and personal journey. The opening of the book introduces the village of Peace, ruled by Longfeather, the wise Peacemaker and father of Nahma. As Longfeather strives to unify tribes in a federation for mutual protection against potential threats, including the arrival of white settlers, Nahma is depicted as a promising youth being groomed for leadership. The narrative hints at intrigue and conflict, particularly with rival tribes like the Narragansetts, setting the stage for Nahma's adventures and the trials he will face as tensions escalate during a time of impending change. The groundwork for a rich exploration of identity, duty, and the impact of external forces on Native American communities is skillfully laid in these initial chapters.
