These texts were recorded by Prince during his fieldwork with the Passamaquoddy tribe in the early 20th century and were later transcribed and translated into English.The Passamaquoddy Texts provide a unique insight into the culture and worldview of the Passamaquoddy people. The stories and songs reflect the tribe's beliefs, values, and history, while the speeches offer a glimpse into their political and social organization.Overall, Passamaquoddy Texts is an important contribution to the field of Native American studies and a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning about the Passamaquoddy tribe and their cultural heritage.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
