A missionary who lived for years among the Cree and Ojibwe retells the legends he heard in their wigwams and around their campfires. The trickster hero Nanahboozhoo, the love story of Wakontas and his test of two maidens, and tales of how the trees gave their medicines all appear, with an endorsing letter from Chief Charles Big Canoe.
A Victorian collection of Algonquian lore for young readers, shaped by its missionary teller’s outlook. Download the free EPUB.
