Books and Islands in Ojibwe Country

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

To Ojibwe speakers and language experts — I tried my best to get it right and went over the book in 2002 with Tobasonakwutiban. He told me the words that describe shades of feeling. I spelled them as I heard them. The Ojibwe is a mixture of Canadian and Southern dialects. Any mistakes are mine. The names of plants are found in Plants Used by the Great Lakes Ojibwa, James E. Meeker, Joan E. Elias, John A. Heim. Published by Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Commission. The words for “computer” and “rhinoceros” were given to me by Nawiigizisiban, Jim Clark. Again, I spelled them as I heard them, and included them because they are delightful. I would like to thank everyone mentioned in these pages. Miigwech.
