Book Description
This ancient Ojibway legend predates contact with European settlers, but the drummer boy and the people he meets at the end of his journey couldn’t be more familiar to modern culture. When the orphaned Anung sets out on his vision quest, he sees clearly that his purpose in life is to find the greatest chief of all and tell him of the many acts of kindness the mothers and fathers of the village have given to Anung. When the people of his village learn of the vision, they are proud of him. For every man of the village loves Anung as his son. Every woman is his mother. They believe Gitche Manitou, the great creator, has chosen their son for a special journey. In his quest to find the greatest chief, Anung travels through the 13 tribes of the First Nations, across forests, plains, water, and desert. Along the way, he is accompanied by Turtle, the interpreter of all languages. He finds friends in the most unlikely of places––a squirrel’s nest, a mother bear’s den, and a city filled with people from every tribe. At each stop, Anung and his drum sing of his mothers and fathers and his quest to meet the greatest chief. What Anung finds at the end of his journey will both surprise and thrill readers of all ages. This ancient legend, told in the beautifully poetic style of Carl Nordgren, begs to be read aloud and savored.

Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
In 1858 the land of Wauganauksi teeters on the brink of destruction. Two forces strive to live in compatibility on the land, forces that are so diverse in their ways that only one can survive. The Odawa, always great Warriors, have little understanding of how to fight against treaties they never signed and courts that acknowledge only the Shaganosh's way of life. The Shaganosh, rapacious in their hunger for land and profit, have no wish to understand anything but the coins in their pockets and the prospect of more such wealth being ripped from the land. A saviour is needed to bring the land back into balance. The one Creator sends to the People is not in a form the Shaganosh understand. Neither is the beauty and the balance she comes to teach--a beauty and balance she must first find for herself. It will take a life time of instruction and loneliness to pave the way to this knowing. It will take a battle with a destructive Manitou to bring it to life. Even if she must die in the process.
