Book
Stories of the road allowance people / translated by Maria Campbell ; paintings by Sherry Farrell Racette.
"I remember a warm kitchen on a stormy winter night. I am sitting on the floor with my Cheechum and the old ladies. The room is filled with grandpas, mammas and papas, aunties, uncles and cousins. There is laughter, hot sweet tea and the smell of red willow tobacco. "Hahaa kiyas mana kisayanoo kah kee achimoot...Long ago the old man told us this story," my uncle would begin and my Cheechum and the old ladies would puff their clay pipes and nod. "Tapwe anima, tapwe...Yes, yes it is true." ... Today the stories I heard then, I have learned, and I have been given permission to share them with you." -- Introduction.
