Occoneechee Island, 1666. The Roanoke River is a highway — and the Occaneechi control it.
On a four-mile island at the confluence of the Dan and Roanoke, Chief Posseclay has built the most powerful trading empire in the Piedmont. Astride the Great Trading Path, his people decide which furs go to Virginia and which muskets come back.
Through Posseclay, his wife Nuna, daughter Elara the weaver, and sons Kestrel and Chayton, you live inside a vibrant 17th-century Indigenous town — corn, beans and squash, river weirs, chert arrowheads, winter counts, and the stories that hold a people together.
Then Nathaniel Bacon arrives.
In 1676, Bacon's Rebellion shatters the balance. Forced to fight the Susquehannock, betrayed by the English they fed, the Occaneechi watch their island burn. From the ashes, survivors Elara and Chayton lead their people to the Eno River, to Fort Christianna, and into a new identity as the Occaneechi Band of the Saponi Nation.
Based on real history — Occoneechee Island now lies beneath Kerr Lake / Buggs Island Lake — Currents of Change is Book 4 of the Lake Gaston Short Story Series but stands alone as a novel of resilience, leadership, and what endures after displacement

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Deep in the heart of the 17th-century American wilderness, where the majestic Roanoke River carved its path through ancient forests, lay Occoneechee Island-a natural fortress and a bustling hub of life. Here, nestled amidst towering pines and flowing waters, the Occaneechi people built their vibrant nation. More than just a remote tribe, the Occaneechi were masterful strategists and keen traders, commanding the vital Great Trading Path that linked disparate peoples across the vast continent. Their island home pulsed with purpose: hunters ranging far afield for game and furs, women tending fertile fields on the mainland and crafting exquisite baskets, skilled artisans shaping stone and clay, and the entire community working as one to harvest the river's bounty. Through the eyes of Chief Posseclay and his family you will discover a people deeply connected to their land, their traditions, and each other. Explore their ingenious methods of survival, their intricate social fabric, and the delicate balance they maintained between peace and defense. But as the furs flowed eastward and strange European goods arrived upstream, the Occaneechi's cherished independence faced its greatest test. A new world was encroaching, bringing with it both opportunity and unforeseen peril. Currents of Change is a vivid journey into a lost world, a compelling story of resilience, community, and the fight to preserve a way of life amidst the unstoppable tides of change.
