xxix, 296 pages : illustrations, maps ; 24 cm., "åOpåukaha'ia (ca. 1792-1818), also known as Henry Obookiah, and Itankusun Wanbli (ca. 1879-1900), also known as Albert Afraid of Hawk, lived almost a century apart and came from different Indigenous nations--Hawaiian and Lakota. Yet the circumstances of Western imperialism that led them to leave their homelands and come to Connecticut, where they died and were buried, have striking similarities, as did their eventual journeys home. In 1992 and 2012, descendant women started the repatriation process for these men after having visitations from their ancestors. Connecticut state archaeologist Nick Bellantoni oversaw the archaeological disinterment and forensic identifications in returning these men to their respective Native families. [The book] chronicles these significant events as examples of the wide-reaching impact of colonialism and the resurgence of Hawaiian and Lakota cultures."--Provided by publisher.
