Letter to Students

Dear Readers,

In the coming chapter’s you will all gain exposure to the Monacan People, not only who they are, but their beliefs, traditions, stereotypes they have been subject to, and overall their history, both told and untold. Although our story will be based on the Monacan Nation, the themes discussed throughout are applicable to almost all Native Tribes in America.

We have found the lessons that we have learned through our research and interactions with Monacan people to be too important not to share. This book includes lessons of resilience, family values, and so much more that not only give you a deep dive into their culture but also provide essential values for any person to include within their lives. We have focused on stories that dive into the specific activities within the lives of the Monacan people; these stories show how this amazing community of people lives based on their own stories, free from any bias that they may have faced in the past.

We worked to show you a perspective of the Monacan people that you may never have seen elsewhere.

Remember, be nice!

Happy reading!

-Lance, Nikhil, Fahad
