Synopsis

Alma Greene, descended from a long line of Mohawk chieftains and the daughter of a Clan Mother, was recognised from early childhood as a natural healer. She grew up on a farm just outside the edge of the Grand River Lands in Ontario and wrote about her people's past and the contemporary events she witnessed, including the remedies practised for generations by her forebears; the ceremonies that perpetuate the line of clan leader; the gods whom the Mohawks honour; the variety of their beliefs. She also expressed the Native people's disillusionment with Christianity, the imposition of the white man's world and the land claim deceptions.
