Preview The World of Wetiko: Tales from the Woodland Cree

Description:
The stories in this book were originally told in Cree by the translator's grandmother, Mrs. Marie Merasty. She must first have heard them from her peers and elders and now, in turn, passes them on to us. For the most part they are printed here as she told them, although a few minor revisions have been made to ease the change from speech to print. You can read them as souvenirs of a recent past already made distant by change. You can enjoy them for the enthusiasm and skill with which they are told. Or you can consider the possibility that they are true: was Wetiko a matter-of-fact evil and medicine power a real power? We think you will do all three.
