In the untamed wilderness of West Virginia, where the American frontier was a canvas of endless forests and rugged terrain, there lived a man whose very name struck a chord of fear in the hearts of Native Americans. They called him "Death Wind," a moniker that echoed the chilling howls of the winter gales through the Appalachian Mountains. This man was none other than Lewis Wetzel, a frontiersman whose life was as tumultuous and wild as the lands he roamed.
Native Journals offers an insightful exploration into the lives, cultures, and resilience of indigenous peoples across the Americas, from the Cherokee to the Inuits. We examine the impacts of colonization and celebrate the rich heritage of Native American communities. Join us in honoring these vibrant traditions and stories.
