Book Description The story of the Beothuk Indians has long captured the hearts and imaginations of historians, archaeologists, poets and writers who have attempted to unravel the mysteries surrounding the life and eventual extinction of an entire culture. The Beothuk Way: Living With Nature is John Kitchen's story about their way of life in Newfoundland before Europeans permanently settled in Notre Dame Bay in the early 1700s. Told through the eyes of a young Beothuk boy, Shanti, the story is aimed at young readers but in no way excludes adults. As Shanti journeys up the Exploits River to his tribe's winter camp and hunting grounds near Red Indian Lake, the reader becomes immersed in the culture of a people who understood and respected the land and its bounty. Kitchen proves it is not too late to pass along - and learn from - this wisdom. - Kelly Davis
