Abstract

"These seven tales are the traditional teaching stories of Nēnapohs̆, the Saulteaux culture hero and trickster. Oral in origin, they have been passed on through generations by the traditional teachers, the elders. For the first time, they are published and made available in Nahkawēwin or Saulteaux, the westernmost dialect of the Ojibwe language. Each story is illustrated and is presented in both standard roman orthography and syllabics, with English translation. The book also includes a pronunciation guide and a Saulteaux-to-English glossary."--Back cover.
