To Solder the Birch Bark combines both fact and fiction in a series of letters. In order to describe his people's endurance, Abenaki Francis Fox (Blaswa Toxuse) writes to a Palestinian. The letters are written from 2001-2012.
One letter may describe a group of pow wow dancers in order to create better understanding of the regalia they wear. In another, Toxuse interviews people who loved and were influenced by a contemporary medicine woman. Sobriety in Indian Country is the subject of yet another letter. Some letters describe three generations of a fictional family impacted by eugenics and genocide.
