"The Belt of Seven Totems: A Story of Massasoit" by Kirk Munroe is a historical fiction set in the time of early American Indian tribes, especially the Wampanoag, and it centers on Chief Massasoit and his son, Nahma, who live in the village of Peace, ruled by Longfeather. The story looks at the relationships between Native tribes and European settlers, and themes of peace and conflict, while Nahma trains for leadership as his father tries to unite tribes against possible dangers. With hints of trouble from rival tribes, especially the Narragansetts, the book sets up Nahma's future journey as tensions rise in a changing world and examines identity, duty and the effect of outside forces on Native American communities.
