Melissa Tantaquidgeon Zobel, Medicine Woman of the Mohegan tribe, is the author of Wabanaki Blues and Medicine Trail: The Life and Lessons of Gladys Tantaquidgeon. Her training in Mohegan traditions and spirituality came from her great-aunt, 104-year-old Mohegan Medicine Woman Gladys Tantaquidgeon, and her great-uncle Chief Harold Tantaquidgeon, both of whom began the Tantaquidgeon Indian Museum with their father, John, in 1931, in Uncasville, Connecticut.
