Thank you; Thank you; Thomas!By WichacpiHoskilaAs an Ojibway living in Oklahoma (far from Canada; where my family is from); I am thrilled to find a book like this one. It is BEAUTIFULLY printed; with heavy; glossy pages loaded with full-color art; photos; maps; and text. The work of Thomas Peacock is amazing; I learned things about my own tribe I hadn't known until now. He is not writing some puny; new-age pop-culture book on "Indian spirituality;" this is a serious; authentic; well-informed treatment of Ojibway history; legends; life; and current events. As a father of two children; one of whom carries the middle name "Ojibway;" I am VERY pleased to have this book to read with them; as well as Peacock's other titles; "The Four Hills;" and anything by Winona Laduke; Gerald Vizenor; and Basil Johnson I can find.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. good reading materialBy bonita C.I did not grow up with my tribe so it is always good to read material about these people that are part of my ancestry.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. well doneBy Tom TThis is one of the nicest books I've read on native culture; history and religion. It is well written; well organized; easy to read and rings true with everything else I've read. It is also a beautiful book to look at and hold. The last few books I've read have been written poorly and it was a pleasure to get back to quality.
