Overview

"The Ojibway speak a language belonging to the linguistic family of Algonquian, which a one time extended across the northern United States. Ojibway is a poetic language of moveable images of woodland life: it is water, bear, loon, and the owls at night, and maple sugar in the Spring. The poems in this book have been interpreted and reexpressed from the original song recordings in Ojibway and from the literal translations done by Frances Densmore for the Bureau of American Ethnology about the turn of the century."
