The Rosemary Chaulk Interview

About the Author: Rosemary Chaulk.. Can land be cursed or is it just the tortured souls who roam it who are cursed? If man disappeared would the land still be cursed? North Village caught my attention because of the curse of the witch. In doing my research, I found that North Village was doomed long before the witches ever came, if the were, indeed, witches at all. While telling tales of Indian Spirits and witches, I use this platform for my true message, which is the history of pollution and its catastrophic effects on man and earth. We took America from the natives and the first thing we did was to decimate the woods, pollute the rivers and torture the land for anything we could take for profit. We dammed the rivers and killed the salmon and left ourselves and our neighbors to die from the overload of toxins in the environment. I want this book to tell an historical tale in a readable way so as to convey the message that it’s not over. In many ways, we’re still doing this to the earth and to ourselves. The air we breathe is polluted and our tap water is loaded with chemicals man should not ingest. Our food is processed and devoid of nutrition. We coat our bodies with chemically based soaps, creams, makeup, shampoos, and dyes. Then we wonder at the increase in chronic illness in our world. This book can and should be a much-needed wake-up call if we’ll just let it.
