Living Our Language: Ojibwe Tales and Oral Histories (Native Voices)

A perfect example of why people should learn multipl languages. Some of the stories were almost unreadable. The author , I assume purposely translated word for word. This made it difficult to follow along but it was informative about the lives of these people who were interviewed.

This book is an extremely well-made collection of original Ojibwe texts in standard orthography with facing English translation. The texts include traditional stories and personal narratives. A comprehensive Ojibwe-English glossary including all the words in the texts is included at the end of the book. It is an extremely invaluable resource to learn the Ojibwe language and study Ojibwe traditional culture.

I love Anton's work and appreciate his commitment to keeping the history of the Ojibwa people alive. He is a great storyteller.

The number one book I recommend for keeping the language and culture. Anton Truer's interviews will live for generations yet unborn!
