Faith Damon Davison (Mohegan) considers herself a “late bloomer.” She received her Bachelor degree in the same year as her youngest son, but from different colleges. She has worked at a multitude of jobs – from selling live-bait and pumping gas, arranging and cataloging over 100,000 images that were digitized at a major American museum, to driving oxen – among other employments - and as a result of her last degree [MLS], she had the oversight of the Mohegan Library and Archives, the rare books, documents and map collections and the responsibility for the Tribe’s 3-Dimensional collections from 1997 – 2010.

 

Most recently she had an article on Wampum published in the Spring 2013 issue of the Bulletin of the Archaeological Society of Connecticut. She also wrote the foreward to Lucianne Lavin’s recent book, Connecticut’s Indigenous Peoples: What Archaeology, History, and Oral Traditions Teach Us About Their Communities and Cultures, published by Yale University Press and released May 2013.
