Ojibwa Summer"The Ojibwa are known as the people of the three fires. Their forefathers arrived in the Great Lakes region during the ice age, and hunted mastadon and the giant elk. They fought the Iroquois before the white man arrived and in 1763 under Chief Pontiac's leadership and with their allies almost drove the white man from the western territories of America. Today Ojibwa have been dispersed into the cities and towns of North America, but many still live on their ancestral lands, now reservations. They are in the midst of a passage from one way of life to another. In this book one-hundred superb photographs and a remarkable text combine to record this journey from an ancient heritage to a strange new world"--Back cover. |
