Illustrated by
Marcia Sewall.
This book honors the Narragansett Indians' ancient harvest celebration, Nickommoh. Each double-page spread depicts the celebrants in action, preparing sweat lodges, painting their skin, and ends with the cry "Nickommoh!" The sprawling earth-toned illustrations capture the festive atmosphere, and the text is lyrical if occasionally awkward: fragments and sentences such as "Venison and turkey the People will eat" abound.
