Winner of the 1999 BOOK ACHIEVMENT AWARDS (Midwest Independent Publishers Association) All Gone Widdun is a work of fiction. Most of the major events in the novel are based on accounts in James P. Howley's classic, The Beothucks or Red Indians: The Aboriginal Inhabitants of Newfoundland and Ingborg Marshall's A History and Ethnography of the Beothuk. Nearly all the named characters - with a few notable exceptions - were real people. Their personalities have been fictionalized. How they felt about themselves, each other, and what happened is a matter of conjecture. Copies of Shanawdithit's drawings are placed at appropriate points in the narrative. Her original drawings can be found in the Newfoundland museum, St. John's. *Widdun: Beothuk word for sleep, euphemism for death.
