Description

The Anishinaabe, otherwise named as the Ojibwe or Chippewa, are well known for their lyric songs and stories, particularly because of their compassionate trickster, "naanabozho", and the healing rituals still practiced today in the society of the Midewiwin. The poems and tales, re-expressed here by Anishinaabe author Gerald Vizenor, were first transcribed more than a century ago by ethnographer Frances Densmore and Theodore Hudon Beaulieu, a newspaper editor on the White Earth Reservation in northern Minnesota. This anthology, illustrated with tribal pictomyths and helpfully annotated, includes translations and a glossary of the Anishinaabe words in which the poems and stories originally were spoken. It brings readers as close as possible to the tribe's primal union of natural reason and dream song, to "the memories that walk with the birds in the sky and sing across the water".
