Portage Lake: Memories of an Ojibwe Childhood rez both of whom are descendents

both of whom are descendents of Dakota prisoners of war

and landscapes bring vibrancy and warmth to this powerful story

On an Ojibwe reservation called Languille Lake

with inadequate shelter

Portage Lake: Memories of an Ojibwe Childhood rez both of whom are descendentsMaude Kegg's memories build a bridge to a time when building birch bark wigwams and harvesting turtles were still part of the everyday life of a native girl in the mid west. In this bilingual book, this elder of the Minnesota Anishinaabe reminisces about her childhood. An English translation of each story appears on pages facing the original Ojibwe text, and the editor John Nicholds has included a full Ojibwe English glossary with study aids.
