Softcover. First Edition. pp. 269. 8vo. Pictorial covers, photographic frontispiece. No detectable flaws, contents clean and unmarked with tight, sound binding; near fine. Since the 1970s, Louis Bird, a distinguished Aboriginal storyteller and historian, has been recording the stories and memories of Omushkego (Swampy Cree) communities along western Hudson and James Bays. In nine chapters, he presents some of the most vivid legends and historical stories from his collection, casting new light on his people's history, culture, and values.
