A collection of faithfully transcribed and translated oral tales.

I enjoyed both the stories and the colorful artwork.

This is collection of Ojebwe folktales is told in the oral storytelling tradition. It was a refreshing read because I was not familiar with a single story. The beautiful illustrations are art museum quality. This book should be more readily available! It is not easy to find, even in Ontario where the author is from!

A nice collection of legends from oral tellings with an authentic voice. The illustrations in the book are beautiful paintings.
