Under the Wing Feather

Under the Wing Feather (Scots: Under the Win Feather; Scottish Gaelic: Fo Iteag Sgiath) is a 1885 historical novel authored by Mabel Sorcha Kennedy. It is written in Scots in most parts, but also in Scottish Gaelic, French, Mohawk, Shawnee, Wyandot and Abenaki.

The work is comprised of two books: they are titled "Shelter" and "Plight." The first book is set during the later years of the reign of Alexander I Tarraingeach, and the second the years of the A ’Chrìoch War. The entirety of the novel follows the adventure of Nechtan Abercombie, a farmer's son who had been rescued by the Iroquois and placed under the care of Onerahontsokon.

Under the Wing Feather is considered to be one of the greatest works in Folaisian literature.
