Elizabeth and the Native American Children By: Beth Scott Elizabeth Doll was born in a factory on Halloween 1993. Born to be a display doll, Elizabeth is sold to a Southern lady with a large doll collection. Mommy Doll and Mr. Da Doll welcome Elizabeth into their family, and Elizabeth grows up alongside two Native American dolls, Kind Heart and Little Bear. The three friends go to school together and experience many exciting adventures together as they explore the larger world. Elizabeth and the Native American Children explores Elizabeth’s struggles as she tries to escape her problems by going to different places. Although she tries to avoid people and problems, she eventually learns that both are the same, wherever you go, and that it’s more important to be satisfied where you are and who you’re with than to look elsewhere for happiness.

“No Natives or Dogs Allowed,” blared the storefront sign at Elizabeth Peratrovich, then a young Alaska Native Tlingit. The sting of those words would stay with her all her life. Years later, after becoming a seasoned fighter for equality, she would deliver her own powerful message: one that helped change Alaska and the nation forever. In 1945, Peratrovich stood before the Alaska Territorial Legislative Session and gave a powerful speech about her childhood and her experiences being treated as a second-class citizen. Her heartfelt testimony led to the passing of the landmark Alaska Anti-Discrimination Act, America’s first civil rights legislation. Today, Alaska celebrates Elizabeth Peratrovich Day every February 16, and she will be honored on the gold one-dollar coin in 2020. Annie Boochever worked with Elizabeth’s eldest son, Roy Peratrovich Jr., to bring Elizabeth’s story to life in the first book written for young teens on this remarkable Alaska Native woman.

"Elizabeth Hanson's captivity narrative reveals the difficulties New England families faced...after captivity among the Indians." - Abraham in Arms: War and Gender in Colonial New England (2013) "As in the Puritan captivities, Hanson was taken from her house with her children...subjected to terrible suffering on the trail." - The Oxford Handbook of Early American Literature (2008) "Hunger, a primary concern of many captives, is the focal condition in Hanson's account." -Captive Selves, Captivating Others: The Politics And Poetics Of Colonial American Captivity Narratives (2018) "Not the most well-known colonial captivity narrative, but it was sufficiently popular before 1800 to go through 13 editions." - Authority and Female Authorship in Colonial America (2021) How did this heroic 18th century New Hampshire Quaker woman survive five months of harrowing captivity among the hostile Wabanaki tribe, eventually to be reunited with her surviving children? In 1760, the short 40-page book authored by former captive Elizabeth Hanson(1684-1737) would be published posthumously under the title "An Account of the Captivity of Elizabeth Hanson." Elizabeth Hanson (September 17, 1684-c1737) was a colonial Anglo-American woman from Dover, New Hampshire, who survived Native American Abenaki capture and captivity in the year 1725 alongside four of her children. Five months after capture, a French family ransomed Elizabeth and her two children in Canada. Her husband was then able to secure them and find another daughter before having to return home, leaving the eldest daughter, Sarah, behind. Elizabeth's captivity narrative became popular because of its detailed insights into Native American captivity, which was a threat to the people in New England due to the almost constant wars with the Native Americans and French in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Her religious take on her experiences was heavily emphasized in her story. Because Elizabeth and her family were Quakers, they refused to take refuge in the garrison when the Abenaki first attacked their area during Dummer's War. Elizabeth and four of her children, Sarah, Elizabeth Jr, Daniel, and her two week old daughter, were taken from her home in Dover, New Hampshire on August 27, 1724. They were held captive by Native Americans until early 1725.
