Remembering Green, An Ojibwe Girl s Tale. This item is unavailable.Remembering Green, An Ojibwe Girl s Tale

Remembering Green features Wenonah, an Ojibwe girl from the Lac Du Flambeau tribe in northern Wisconsin in the early 1900's during the forced assimilation period of Native American children into the white culture. It was a dark time in our history for Indigenous people as they were stripped of their native heritage and culture and sent to boarding schools where they were forced to forget everything they knew about their lives as Native Americans. Wenonah and her Grandfather will discover ways that Wenonah can remember her Ojibwe heritage even though the world is changing for them all.

I live with my husband Bruce in Coon Valley, WI, where I am the secretary at the Coon Valley Elementary School, a job I adore! I believe the most important skill we can ever teach our children is How to be Kind. Any kindness we do, no matter how small, has the power to change someone s life. Growing up in northern Wisconsin has instilled in me the wonder of nature sparkling lakes, endless forests and trails littered with pine needles and possibilities. Preserving our planet and populating it with human beings who are Respectful, Responsible and Kind seems like an awesome idea. I am a member of the SCBWI, a book reviewer for the New York Journal of Books and an Eifrig Publishing Author.
