Description
Originally published in 1978. Regional poetry in English, French, and Passamaquoddy. From the back of the 1982 edition: "'Treize Lunes' est un poème basé sur divers documents retracant la vie de Sébastien Rale, jésuite et savant, missionaire chez les Indiens Norrigwock. Il était chéri par ces Indiens avec qui il vécut durant trente ans. Il produisit pendant son long séjour un dictionnaire Abénaki-Français. Les colons anglais de la province du Maine l'haissaient cependant, et le considéraient comme un agent de la France et l'instigateur de plusieurs révoltes indiennes."
"'Thirteen Moons' is a poem based on various sources depicting the life of the Jesuit scholar, Sebastian Rale, beloved priest to the Norrigwock Indians whose life he shared for thirty years. During these years he produced an Abanaki-French dictionary. He was hated and feared by the English settlers on the Province of Maine who considered him an agent of France and an instigator of Indian rebellion."
