Bierhorst, John, ed. The Red Swan. Albuquerque, Universityof New Mexico Press, 1976.
There are two Ojibwa myths in this book in their complete form. I suppose it's all right for step six, but I think I would have got more out of this if I had heard the stories orally. Also interesting, at the end of the book, is a listing of various tribes. This shows how the Ojibwa fit into the Algonquin nation.

Broker, Ignatia. Night Flying Woman. St. Paul: Minnesota Historical Society Press, 1983.
I used this resource for step four-vicarious experience. Ignatia Broker retells her great great grandmother's story. The story is extremely useful because it traces Broker's grandmother's life before she was forced to live on White Earth Reservation and after. She does a great job of showing how traditonal Ojibwe values are passed on through each generation. For example she points out that sharing endured through the difficult times on hte reservation as well as all the way up to the 1940's when Broker experienced the shating in the St. Paul river flat community. The story does a great job in portraying Ojibwe daily life during the mid to late nineteenth century.

Craven, Margaret. I Heard the Owl Call My Name.
This book I used for Step 4 and found it to be very helpful and interesting to read. The book is highly known as well as Margaret Craven. You will find a lot of fictional information in this book but the story is based in actual beliefs and values of the Indians. I highly recommend the book for this study or for pure enjoyment. The book is 159 pages so it is not real long.

I read the whole book for my vicarious experience which was step number four. The book is not about the Ojibway tribe but it still gave me a good sense about the Native Americans in general. I would highly recommend. I found the book in the Ireland Library on South Campus.

Dances with Wolves-movie.
It is about a Sioux tribe, I believe that I have come to a better understanding of Native Americans over all. The movie began with the idea that many people have believed for centuries, the idea that Indians are "nothing but thieves and beggars". In the movie it is easy to start with a perspective such as that because the Indian are shown killing and scalping the guide that led Lieutenant Dunbar to the abandoned post. As the story line progresses, however, we find that the images we see in the beginning are not the fully reality.

Lame Deer, John (Fire) and Richard Erdoes. Lame Deer Seeker of Visions. New York: Washington Square Press, 1972.
I used this book for step number 4. This is a great autobiography, easy reading, and gives a good background of Indian Heritage. I would recommend any person to read this book for mere enjoyment.

Neihardt, John G. Black Elk Speaks . Morrow, New York, c. 1932. (Dakota, but interesting and classic.)

Films: Thunderheart , and The Leonard Peltier Story .

I would highly recommend "Thunderheart" for the vicarious experience which is step four. The movie does a good job portraying the Native Americans' relationship to the Earth and spirits. It is not the Ojibway tribe but the
Although it was about the Dakota, and not the Ojibwa, it still proved to be helpful. It clued me in on a more modern day to day lifestyle and what life is like on a reservation. It also highlighted many injustiecies that the people of the reservation have to deal with. I would recommend this film because it is educational and simply because sometimes it is nice to watch a movie, and not have to read a book.
Dakota tribe.
