Abstract
"In1974, when Paulette Jiles was first sent by the CBC to work as a journalist in Big Trout Lake, a village in remote northern Ontario without a radio or television, she didn't know a bush plane from a backpack.
North Spirit is based on the seven years Jiles spent working there with the northern Cree and Ojibway peoples who call themselves Anishinabe. With great insight and captivating prose, Jiles explores the clash between tradition and technology, a turning point for the Anishinabe, and reveals the enduring legacy of their northern mythology."--Back cover.
