Iagoo the story-teller narrates a cycle of Great Lakes legends adapted from the collections Henry Rowe Schoolcraft published in 1839: Shin-ge-bis outwits the North Wind, a boy snares the Sun, a hunter climbs toward the sky to bring summer to the earth, and the magician Mish-o-sha works his tricks. Each tale is told simply for children.
An early twentieth-century retelling by a white author, best read as a gateway to Ojibwe and Algonquian story traditions. Download the free EPUB.
