Academic American Encyclopedia, The. Grolier Inc. 1988.

Akwesasne Notes. Voices from Wounded Knee, 1973: in the words of the participants. New York: 1975.
I would recommend this book to any Native American worldview. It is very detailed, organized and had good pictures and maps of the area.

Avery, Susan & Skinner, Linda. Extraordinary American Indians Childrens Press. Chicago. 1992.
Ok! OK! It is a childrens book. But I think this book would appeal to the older crowd. This book is geared to the 13-17 year old. This is an excellent overview of American Indians your could choose from.

Bachman, Ronet. Death and Violence On The Reservation. New York: Auburn House,       1992.

This book does not neccessarliy pertain to any of the steps. It has many graphs that deal with things like, Total Homicide Rate. I read some of Chapter 2, Trends in American Indain Homicide, which wa interesting.

Banai, Edward Benton. The Mishomis Book. Publisher/ date not avail.
This is a great book to read for understanding the customs and stories behind the beliefs of the Ojibway. I read the complete book and it was especially helpful in step 4 and parts of 5.

I was allowed to borrow this book for a short time from Sally Hunter. She is not aware of any other copies existing in the area. I used this book for step six because it contains the sacred stories and teachings of the Anishinabe. The stories include the Ojibwe creation story and the Waynaboozho stories. Sally wanted me to make sure that I took good care of the book because it is very important to her. Because the Ojibwe have an oral tradition this is a rare book. The author was criticized by some who didn't like to see the stories in print. However, the book is a gift to those Ojibwe who are not able to hear their stories told by their elders.
This book was very good. I wish I would have had a chance to read more of it because it seemed to have a lot of helpful information. It is written very simply, but includes a lot of details that remain important to the Ojibwa people.

Basil, Johnston. The Manitous, The Supernatural World of the Ojibway. New York:Harper Perennial, 1995. (pages xv-25, 97-103)

This book provided a good look at what some of the Ojibwa beliefs are as well as the spirituality of the tribe. The focus of the book was good for Step 6.

Basil, Johnston. Ojibway Heritage. Lincoln: University of Nebraska, 1990. (pages 134-147)

This book was very helpful because it explained several of the Ojibwa ceremonies and practices. It included things like the Pipe of Peace Smoking Ceremony, life Commemorations, and Dances. Highly recommended if clarification of practices is needed.

Bierhorst, John. The Red Swan Myths and Tales of American Indians Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 1976, pp: 3-33, 141, 149, 167-168, 185-187, 229-233, 277-294.
This book is particularly useful for Step 6. It gives some information in the introduction about the meaning of Native American myths and legends-- an almost too detailed means to interpret them. The book has both Ojibwa and other Indian stories.

I used this book to get an idea of American Indian tales. It was easy reading. The book did not contain any tales that pertained especially to Ojibwa.

Bourgeois, Arthur P. ed. Ojibway Narratives of Charles and Charlotte Kawbawgam and       Jacques Lepique 1893-1895. Recorded with notes by, Kidder, Homer H. Detroit:Wayne State Press, 1983.

This book was interesting because it dealt with new cultures meeting, French and Ojibwa. I was going to use this book for step six, but Basil Johnston’s book proved to be much more helpful (listed below).

Bray, Martha Coleman. The Journals of Joseph N. Nicollet St. Paul: Minnesota Historical Society, 1970.

Brill, Charles. Indian and Free. St. Paul, MN: University of Minnesota Press. 1974.
This man is a photographer so the pictures are excellent. The pictures can really set the mood for what you are reading. I read a very small amount of the book but picked over it for facts. This is the book that I learned that the Ojibwa people are really named the Anishinabe which means original people. I learned that on P.23.

Brill, Charles. Red Lake Nation, Portraits of Ojibway Life . University of Minnesota Press, Minneapolis, 1974., pp: 9-147.
An excellent source of real life information. It told the story of real people, not just broad generalizations about the entire Ojibwa group. Detailed life on the reservation.

This book has a lot of wonderful pictures. There is commentary, however, I did not read much of it. Mostly, it is a good book for getting a real life image of what an Ojibwa's reservation life is like. It has pictures to show what a real spear for fishing looks like, the "houses" built over Ojibwa graves, ceremonial times, and activities of daily living.
I read pages 19-31 of this book. It explained the history and how the reservation is run. This helped me with step 5. This book also had many great pictures that helped me see different Ojibwa people in different walks of life.

Broker, Ignatia. Night Flying Woman. St. Paul: Minnesota Historical Press, 1983.

I loved this book and I read the whole thing. It helped me learn about Ojibwa life from an Ojibwa, which is extremely important. I used this for step 5, and especially step 7 because Ignatia Broker and her grandmother that she writes about are both promoters of justice and peace. I highly recommend this book.

Brown, Dee. Wounded Knee: an Indian history of the American West Holt Rinehart and Winston, Inc. 1974. 1970.
It is almost like the cliff notes to Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee .

Bushnell, David I., Jr. AN OJIBWAY CEREMONY American Anthropologist, 7: 69-73, 1905.
This book was the most important one to my study of the worldview. It had the information I needed for steps 5, 6, 7 and 8.

Capps, Walter H. Seeing with a Native Eye. New York, NY: Harper & Row Publishers, 1976.

        Collection of Essays. Proved to be informative. It enabled me to read from           important speeches and writings explaining the status of religious affairs           amongst the Native Americans. Chapter one is most beneficial.

Carlisle, Richard, ed. The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Mankind, Volume 14. New York: Marshall Cavendish, 1984.
This book only contains 3 pages on the Ojibwa, one of which is all pictures. The information contained in it was also contained in my other sources as well. It helped, but the information can be found in greater detail in other sources.

Clark, Ella Elizabeth. Indian Legends of Canada. Canada: Webcom Ltd., 1960., pp:5-7, 44-46, 68-71, 79-86, 113-115, 120-132, 149- 150.
This book is helpful for step 6. It contains an introduction which talks about the selection of myths and legends inthe book. It details that many of the selected myths are used to explain how certain things, such as corn, came into the Indian world/culture. It also talks about some of the characters inthe myths, and what their role/s are. The book has Ojibwa and other Indian stories.

Clark, Ella E. and Edmonds, Margot. VOICES OF THE WINDS NATIVE AMERICAN LEGENDS. New York, New York: Facts on File Inc., 1989.
This book covers many of the Native American legends. I used the Chippewa- Ojibwa which can be found on pages 247-257. I used this book for step number six and I found it to be very helpful. This book can be found in the Ireland Library on South Campus.

This source has many different legends from different groups. There was only two that were Ojibwa legends. I still found the book useful for step 6 because I read a few legends from other tribes to get a feel of all Native American legends. This book was easy to follow and very interesting.

Coleman, Sister Bernard, Frogner, Ellen, and Eich, Estelle. OJIBWA MYTHS AND LEGENDS. Minneapolis, MN: Ross and Haines, Inc., Publishers, 1971.
This book was excellent! It covered the authors research about obtaining the information about the legends and the difficulties in getting the legends. I was not able to read the whole book but I really wanted to. I used this book mainly for step six. This book is located at Concordia Library.

Books d

Danziger, Edmund J., Chippewas of Lake Superior. University of Oklahoma Press, 1971.
This book was a good source of detailed information regarding Ojibwa history and culture. The chapters on environmental ethics and religious beliefs were especially interesting. I used this for step five.

Deloria, Vine, Jr. God is Red. New York: Del Publishing Co., Inc., 1973 (p.247-301).
This book combines a lot of religious and social thought. This book opened up my mind to a wide array of things that are going on with Native Americans. The book itself wasn't all that useful to me but it helped me look at the Native American worldview much more objectively. Don't let me mislead you I feel that this book was very important in my study because I read it first and it gave me a solid base. This book is out of print so it might be difficult to find.

Deloria, Vine Jr. Custer Died for Your Sins. Norman and London: University of Oklahoma Press, 1969.
Although this book didn't deal specifically with the Ojibwe, it did offer an interesting opinion that commented on all Native Americans. Specifically I read chapter one (Indians today, the real and the unreal), chapter seven ( Indian humor), and chapter eleven( Indians in modern society). The chapters I read were enlightening and the chapter on humor was particularly interesting (jokes have much more of a function that just to cause people to laugh). Deloria's writing voice drips with sarcasm.

Deloria, Vine, Jr. God is Red. New York: Del Publishing Co. 1973.
This is an excellent book to read if you want to get a general understanding of Native Americans in general. I concentrated on chapters 14 and 15.

Densomore, Frances. Chippewa Customs. Minnesota Historical Society., 1979 (88).
This is a good book for understanding the Midewiwin.

This book was helpful for understanding the Midewiwin tradition in step 7, but I did not use much information from that book.

This book is most helpful for steps 5 and 6. It contains a lot of cultural, religious, and mythical information, as well as maps, language and other information. An in depth approach.

This book was really good. It got into detail about the customs but it didn't tell me that much that I didn't already know. It just went deep into all the customs. If one needed to really probe a specific part of the culture then this is your book.

Densomore, Frances. Dakota and Ojibwa People in Minnesota. Minnesota Historical Society, 1977.
This book gives some interesting information about the relations of the Ojibway and the Dakota. I used parts of it for step 5. Again, use the index to find pages on things you have questions about.

Dictionary of World Religions,The. Crim, Keith Ed. San Francisco: Harper & row Publishers, 1981.
I found this information to be a little helpful in the beginning, but not as helpful as the books I found. The information in the Dictionary covered all the Native American Worldviews and I found the information to be too broad.

Doherty, Ronbert, Paquin Ron., Not First In Nobody's Heart. Iowa State University Press/ Ames, 1992, pp:3-40.
This book is an autobiography about Ron Paquin, an Ojibwa. It details his persomal experience with living on a reservation, in poverty, and the temporary lorries from commercial fishing. I did not read much of this book because it dealt with more personal/emotional information than I needed for discussion on issues of justice, and it had little content about the Ojibwa worldview.

Drimmer, F. Captured by the indians, 15 Firsthand Accounts 1850-1870. New York: Dover Publications. 1961.
This book was an excellent account from the first hand experience of John Tanner, a man that spent a great portion of his life with the Ojibwa tribe. The account of J. Tanner is a bit dated, but he story illustrates many qualities that still remain in Ojibwa ideas today. These ideas just reflect themselves on more modern subjects.

Driver, Harold E. Indians of North America. 2nd Ed. Chicago and London: The University of Chicago Press, 1961 and 1969.
This is an excellent book to use if you have questions about particular points of interest for Native Americans in general.

Dumont, James. “Justice and Native Peoples.”

Native Americans, Crime, and Justice. In this book I read the section, “Justice and Native Peoples.” It was helpful not in any particular steps, but in understanding more about the Ojibwa, and other Native American Tribes.

Ebbott, Elizabeth. Indians in Minnesota. 4th ed., Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 1985 and 1971(p. 1-16, 39-64, 81-88, 122-123, 199-234).
This is a good book for step 5 and 8. I used the index and read the pages that were noted under Ojibway'.

Ebbott's book was very helpful in my research, especially for steps 6 and 8. Provided an excellent general historical background for step 6. It also provided many useful statistics of the problems the Ojibwa face today, spiritually, socially, and economically.

I found this text to be useful to provide general background to the culture and views of the Ojibwa. I used this book in step 5.

I would recommend this book. It depicts the current situation of the Native Americans in Minnesota. I wish I could have read the whole book. Pages 18-52 and 65-79 are the ones I used. I mainly used this book for step number seven. This book can be found at the St. Thomas and Hamline Libraries.

Eastman, Charles A. The Soul of the Indian. Lincoln, Nebraska: U. of Nebraska press, 1980.

Encyclopedia Americana, The. Grolier Inc. 1991.

Encyclopedia Americana. Danbury, Conneticut: Groiler, 1999.

I barley used this source. It was useful only in giving a very brief history on where the Ojibwa got their name.   *I did not think that any of the Encyclopedias were helpful. They did not really specify in Ojibwa culture, so I did not use them.

Encyclopedia of the American Religious Experience: Studies of traditions and movements. MacMillan Publishing Co. 1988.

Encyclopedia of Religion, The. Ed. Mircea Eliade. New York: Macmillan, 1987. Volume 4 and 10, s.v. "Native American" & "Ojibwa"
Excellent resource for a general background on the worldview, although it is difficult find some of the information because the Native American history jumps around from tribe to tribe.

I found the same thing to be happening in this Encyclopedia that the information was for all of the tribes in the United States and the information was too general. I recommend that the student stays with the books because they seem to be more centralized on the particular tribe.

Ferguson, John. War and Peace in the World's Religions.
This resource was ok, although there was not much information about what I was looking for. A general discussion on tribal religion. Not very helpful.
This resource was of very little help.

Gall, Timothy L., ed. Worldmark Encyclopedia of Cultures and Daily Life, Volume 2-Americas. Detroit: Gale, 1998.

This book provided me with a lot of information for Step 5. It contains brief descriptions of various aspects of modern daily life topics.   I found it helpful in my research because focuses on more recent things pertaining to Native Americans as a whole and then focusing on the specific tribe of the Ojibwa rather than just information from far back in history.

Grim, John. The Shaman: Patterns of Religious Healing Among the Ojibwa Indians. University of Oklahoma Press, Norman, 1983. (p. 56-169).
Grim's book gave me a basic understanding of Ojibwa belief in an academic manner. Especially was insightful in talking about the Medewewin.

Hallowell, Irving A. CULTURE AND EXPERIENCE New York (original date of publication, 1955), 1971.
This book was useful in that it provided detailed information regarding the culture of the Ojibwa tribe.

Henry, Alexander. TRAVEL AND ADVENTURES IN CANADA AND THE INDIAN TERRITORIES, BETWEEN THE YEARS OF 1760-1776 New York (reprinted, 1966), 1809.
this is a book that needs to be included when a study of any Native American (Norther America) group is done.

Hickerson, Harold. THE CHIPPEWA AND THEIR NEIGHBORS: A STUDY IN ETHNOHISTORY New York, 1970.
This book was informative in the part of the Ojibwa's tradition and how they look at the present status of the world and its environment.

Higer, M. Inez. Chippewa Child Life. Minnesota Historical Society Press, 1992, pp: 32-50, 58, 60-102, 106.
This book is very helpful in step 5. It contains mostly cultural and religious information. Anything from birthing positionm puberty customs, to incest is covered in this book. I highly recommend it, but remember that all the books will have slightly different comments about the same things. An in depth approach.

Hilger, Sister M. Inez, Chippewa Child Life and its Cultural Background Smithsonian Institution, Bureau of American Ethnology, Bulletin 146, Washington D.C., 1951.
This book is a Godsend. If I had to write a 25 volume encyclopedia about the Anishinabe and only could use one source this would be it. Believe me it really is good. I read the whole book and it was certainly my best resource for this paper. I used it in almost every step that needed research except the influencial promoter.

Hopfe, Lewis M. Religions of the World. Beverly Hills, California: Glencoe Press, 1976.
I used this book in the beginning of my research for step 5. I feel this book would also be useful for the student who didn't know what worldview they wanted to study. I only read Chapter2 which is only 10 pages, but the book covers a lot of religions.

This book gives a brief description of animism and Native American Perspective.

Hull, James. Red Shadows In the Mist. James Hull 1969.

        Not too informative. It did give a good foundation for later research, but o           overall wasn't too beneficial.

Hultkrantz, Ake. Native Religions of North America, the Power of Visions and Fertility. San Francisco: Harper & Row, Publishers.

This book includes an overview of Native American religions. It provided some information, but I only used a small portion of the book.

Hutchinson, John A. Paths of Faith. New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company, 1981.
This book I used for step 5. This is the same type of book as Religions of the World and I used Chapter 3 which is about 20 pages. It was helpful in giving me a broad overview of the Native American Indians.

Hyde, George E. Indians of the Woodlands-From Prehistoric Times to 1725 Oklahoma: University of Oklahoma Press, 1962.
This book has some interesting and relevant information about relations with the Sioux and with the French fur traders. I usedc the index by looking under Ojibway.'

Jaimes, Annette M. Ed. The State of Native America. Boston: South End Press, 1992.
This book was very helpful in Step 9. It tells of various laws and disputes that are occurring with the Indians. The book is long but you only need to use a few chapters. I read Chapters 1, 2, 6, and 7. Some of these chapters were long so I skimmed them to find the information I was looking for.

James, Bernard J. CONTINUITY AND EMEREGENCE IN INDIAN POVERTY CULTURE Current Anthropology, 11: 435-452, 1970.
I enjoyed reading this book, for it gave me some of the answers I was looking for in regard to what the implications were due to the exposition of the Native American to the European ideology.

James, Edwin, ed. A NARRAITVE OF THE CAPTIVITY AND ADVENTURE OF JOHN TANNER (U.S. INTERPRETER AT THE SAUT DE STE. MARIE) DURING THIRTY YEARS RESIDENCE AMONG THE INDIANS IN THE INTERIOR OF NORTH AMERICA (original date of publication, 1830), 1956.
When collecting information from this book, it is important that one only takes the information that apply to the Ojibwa tribe.

Jenness, Diamond. THE OJIBWA INDIANS OF PARRY ISLAND, THEIR SOCIAL AND RELIGIOUS LIFE OTTAWA (Canada Dept. of Mines, Bulletin 78, Anthropological Series, 17), 1935.
This book has some specific ideas and practices of the Ojibwa tribe that I used when writing step 5 and 6.

Jenz, Thomas. The Woodlands, The Story of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, 1994.

        This is an excellent source to start out research with. It features Ojibwe            members both young and old describing life.

Johnson, Eastman. LAKE SUPERIOR INDIANS. Afton, MN: Johnston Pulishing Inc., 1983.

Johnston, Basil. The Manitous: the spriritual world of the Ojibway.
This was an excellent source. It detailed many of the legends and myths of the culture. Especially valuable in researching totems and spirit world relations.

This book is made up of spiritual tales and tribal teaching written in a story life fashion that made it more of enjoyment to read then providing information for the writing of the paper. I hope to go back and complete the reading of this book later. It is very capturing with interest.

Was truly beneficial to my studies. Gave a layout of what the Ojibwe people were as a community. The author helped me to learn much about these people and a little about myself.

Johnson, Michael. The Native Tribes of North America. NY, NY: New York U. Press, 1994.

        This book was basically used for historical information and cultural               traditions.

Johnston, Basil. Ojibwa Heritage. New York: Columbia University Press, 1976.
This book is a very detailed writing of the beliefs and customs of the Ojibway Indian. It is consistent with the writings of the Mishomis but in more detail.

This was my most used and excellent resource. The book was written by an Ojibwa. The book is composed of story and general explanations of most aspects of Ojibwa belief. It gave me a good feeling of the tradition because of its use of story.

I used this book the most in my paper. Written in a format so that it is very easy to understand the complex beliefs of the Ojibwa. I used this source for step 5, 6, and 7.

This book is a godsend!!! I used this book throughout my entire paper. It is solely in the Chippewa Indians, their values, beliefs, rituals... I used this book for Steps 5,6,7 and 8 (mainly step 6). I would recommend this book to any student who is studying the Ojibway Worldview.

This book was the most useful in step five. The book touches on many Ojibwe cultural values, beliefs, and practices. It contains stories such as the Ojibwe creation story and Waynaboozho stories in The Mishomis Book, but it also contains commentary on Ojibwe leadership, medicine, ceremonies, vision quests, etc. This is the best book to have in order to get a fairly in depth understanding of Ojibwe culture and tradition (I got this book at the downtown St. Paul public library).

This book is a a story form which requires you to read it from the start to finish in order to get the full effect. I would read it in this manner in order to get a basic understanding and then you can start looking information in areas you do not understand. This book is good for step 5, 6, and 7.

Johnston, Basil. The Manitous: The Spiritual World of the Ojibway. New York: Harpercollins Publishers, 1995.

In this book I read the introduction and the preface plus the pages 1-9 and 50-95. I found this book to be very helpful for my step six. It is full of Ojibwa history and narratives that have been passed down through moral tradition.

Josephy, Alvin M, Jr. The Indian Heritage of America. New York: Alfred A Knopf, Inc., 1968.

Kehoe, Alice Beck. North American Indians: A Comprehensive Account. New Jersey: Prentice Hall, Ince., 1981.
This book is helpful if you look at the index under Ojibway and read those pages only. There is too much other information about other tribes that is irrelevant.

Kinietz, W. Vernon. CHIPPEWA VILLAGE, THE STORY OF KATIKITEGON 1947.
This book provided information on the traditions and cultures of the Ojibwa tribe.

Kohl, Johann Georg, Kitchi-gami: Life Among the Lake Superior Ojibwa MN Historical Society Press, St. Paul, MN, 1985.
This book was very enjoyable to read, talks a lot about the social and ritual aspect of the Ojibwa during the late 19th century. I found this source helpful in writing step five and seven.

This is a great book for this worldview. I used this book and Warren's as my primary resources.

Landes, Ruth. Ojibwa Religion and the Midewin. Madison: University of Wisconsin Press, 1968. pp. 71-230.
Difficult reading, hard to follow the author, and she does not explain terms and new words. I read the first third of the book, but did not use any information in my research writings.

I did not use this book in my paper but I found it and thought it might be useful for someone else in the future. I found it hard to find books in the St. Thomas Library on the Native Americans and I went to Macalester and found this book and many others.

This book is one of the books I used to talk about the Anishinabe peoples religion. I read over the semester the whole book but not in chronological order. This book helped me understand the Midewinin very well. I used chapter 3 to chapter 7.

Leitch, Barbara. A Concise Dictionary of Indian Tribes in North America. Algonque, Michigan, 1979.

        This text was helpful in understanding the subjects in the Ojibwe myths.

Long, John. VOYAGES AND TRAVELS OF AN IDIAN INTERPRETER AND TRADER 1768-1782, Cleveland, ed. Reuben Gold Thwaites (Early Western Travels, 1746-1846,2)

Lucas, Eileen. The Ojibwas: People of the Northern Forests
This book is a fairly short book that covers the Ojibway history in a very brief perspective. Very easay reading with quite a bit of illustrations.

Lurie, Nancy Oestreich. COMMENTS ON BERNARD J. JAMES'S ANALYSIS OF OJIBWA ACCULTURATION American AMthropologist, 64: 826-833, 1962.
I did not use very much of the information, but it did present some interesting definitions of the manito.

Meyer, Melissa, The White Earth Tragedy. Lincoln, University of Nebraska Press, 1994, p. 225-235.

These were the primary pages I read of this book. This is the conclusion and epilogue. But I also went through other parts of the book to get a better understanding of these sections. The index helped for this. I thought this book was easy to follow and was useful for a real dispute. I plan to read this entire book.

Michelson, Truman J. OJIBWA TALES. Journal of American Folklore, 1911.
This journal talks about the talks people talked about, yet that no one is willing to swear to the truth of what they are saying.

Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Indians, The. Walking Forward, Looking Back. Onamia, MN: 1

       This was probably the most helpful resource I found, surprising for how         short it is (23 pgs). It shares the values of Ojibwe and stresses a                   resurgence of the culture. Given to me by a friend who is 1/8 Ojibwe          and recieved it in the mail.

Minnesota Indian, The. Minnesota Indian Affairs Commission.
Gives information about today's reservations. (i.e. about today's population, area, when the treaties were signed, and where they get their income from.)

Books n-o

O'Leary, Timothy J. and David Levinson, vol. eds. Encyclopedia of World Cultures, Volume I, North America. Boston: G.K. Hall & Co., 1991.

This book gave a clear look at some of the more abstract practices of the Ojibwa such as arts, medicine, death and afterlife, marriage, and social organization and control, and conflict. I found it to be a very good source.

Pfaff, Tim. PATHS OF THE PEOPLE THE OJIBWE IN THE CHIPPEWA VALLEY. Eau Claire, Wisconsin: Chippewa Valley Museum Press, 1993.
I used this entire book. It is short but is very good at giving the history of the Ojibwa. Also this book also has pictures that were interesting. I would recommend reading this book for a clear history.

Redsky, James. Great Leader of the Ojibwa: Mis-quona-queb. Toronto: McClelland and Stewart, 1972.
This book offers a good biography of the great war leader and shaman Mis-quona-queb. I used this resource for step 6. It gives you an excellent feel for their battles against the Dakota in the mid 1800's. It gives a good sense of the early wars and why and how they were fought.

Religious Heritage of America, The. Shulman, Albert M. New York: The Tantivy Press, 1981.
I didn't fins this to be very helpful. The information was too broad and I only skimmed the pages 11-14.

Rosenblatt, Judith, ed. Indians In Minnesota, Fourth Edition; Elizabeth Ebbott for the League of Women Voters of Minnesota. Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 1985.

This book gave a clear background on the identity of the Indians and includes a vast rage of information covering spiritual, political, and economical issues. It includes topics like land, hunting and fishing rights issues, identity of the tribe, governmental relations, welfare, education, and a very large variety of other subtopics. I would recommend it.

I found this book to very helpful in Steps 5-8. It has a lot of useful information on the Ojibway and the Dakota. It talks a lot about their heritage, language, values and beliefs. I concentrated on Chapters 1-5 and the Appendixes. I read 100 pages from this book. I highly recommend this book for your study.

Ross, Rupert. Dancing with a Ghost: Exploring Indian Reality. Markham, Ontario: Octopus Publishing, 1992.

        Ross helped me to identify with the current status of many Native                 Americans. He rationalized the "odd" things that Natives do. He also            helps the reader to try not to associate what we think is right with other            cultures.

Seger, John., Early Days Among the Cheyenne and Araphoe Indians. University of Oklahoma Press, Norman Oklahoma, 1956., pp:3-25.
This is a story about a white man's interactions with some Ojibwa (Araphoe are apparently related). This book is very easy to read. I did not read much of it because I thought this would have been a good book for step four, but it was too late by the time I had discovered this book to use for that step.

Stan, Susan. The Ojibwe. Vero Beach, FL: Rourke Publications, Inc., 1989.
This book is a little kids book but it gives you a very general outlook of whatever you are trying to find out. This book didn't help me very much but you can read the whole thing in a short time and the elementary ideas will stay in your head for further exploration.

Sturtevant, William C, editor. Handbook of North American Indians. Washington: Smithsonian Institute, 1978.

        This was a very informative book and a good starting point for                    understanding Ojibwe heritage and belief system.

Sun Bear and Wabun. The Medicine Wheel. Earth Astrology. Prentice Hall Press. 1980.
This book contains many environmental concerns along with Native Ameriacan astrology using your birthdate to determine your place on the Medicine Wheel.

Sutherland, Stewart, et. al., The World Religions G.K. Hall and Co., Boston, MA, 1988. pp: 873-878.
This book describes Native American concept of time, and briefly discusses mythology, vision quests, the Midewiwin, etc. It is helpful to get an overview. It is not overly detailed.

Swanton, John R. The Indian Tribes of North America Smithsonian Institution Bureau of American Ethnology, Bulletin 145, Washington, D.C.: U.S.Government Printing Office, 1953.
This is an interesting book because it is arranged in chapters that each represent a state. Each chapter has a map included that helps you see the location of certain things that you are reading about.

Vizenor, Gerald. The People Named the Chippewa. University of Minnesota Press, 1984 (139-142).
This is a good book for step 5 and 7. It is very interesting reading because it is structured as a narrative histories. There is a good story at the end about the roles of a Shaman. (Last entry in the Table of Contents.)

I used this book for step 7 in understanding sacred traditions of the Ojibwa people. The book was interesting because they were narrative histories.

Vizenor, Gerald., Crossbloods, Bone Courts, Bingo, and Other Reports. University of MinnesotaPress, 1990. PP: 3-83, 157-193. 217-259.
This book is most useful for Step 7. It deals with the many injustices the Native American Ojibwa tribes have been through. It is very straightforward and objective. This book is specific and detailed.

Full of valuable info. Like the dictionary of the Ojibwe people.

I began using this book for the history of the Ojibwa. But it was hard to understand. I did use various parts of the book for follow up to sections of Paths of the People. But overall this book was not very useful.

	Academic American Encyclopedia, The. Grolier Inc. 1988.
	Akwesasne Notes. Voices from Wounded Knee, 1973: in the words of the participants. New York: 1975. I would recommend this book to any Native American worldview. It is very detailed, organized and had good pictures and maps of the area.
	Avery, Susan & Skinner, Linda. Extraordinary American Indians Childrens Press. Chicago. 1992. Ok! OK! It is a childrens book. But I think this book would appeal to the older crowd. This book is geared to the 13-17 year old. This is an excellent overview of American Indians your could choose from.
	Bachman, Ronet. Death and Violence On The Reservation. New York: Auburn House, 1992. This book does not neccessarliy pertain to any of the steps. It has many graphs that deal with things like, Total Homicide Rate. I read some of Chapter 2, Trends in American Indain Homicide, which wa interesting.
	Banai, Edward Benton. The Mishomis Book. Publisher/ date not avail. This is a great book to read for understanding the customs and stories behind the beliefs of the Ojibway. I read the complete book and it was especially helpful in step 4 and parts of 5. I was allowed to borrow this book for a short time from Sally Hunter. She is not aware of any other copies existing in the area. I used this book for step six because it contains the sacred stories and teachings of the Anishinabe. The stories include the Ojibwe creation story and the Waynaboozho stories. Sally wanted me to make sure that I took good care of the book because it is very important to her. Because the Ojibwe have an oral tradition this is a rare book. The author was criticized by some who didn't like to see the stories in print. However, the book is a gift to those Ojibwe who are not able to hear their stories told by their elders. This book was very good. I wish I would have had a chance to read more of it because it seemed to have a lot of helpful information. It is written very simply, but includes a lot of details that remain important to the Ojibwa people.
	Basil, Johnston. The Manitous, The Supernatural World of the Ojibway. New York:Harper Perennial, 1995. (pages xv-25, 97-103) This book provided a good look at what some of the Ojibwa beliefs are as well as the spirituality of the tribe. The focus of the book was good for Step 6.
	Basil, Johnston. Ojibway Heritage. Lincoln: University of Nebraska, 1990. (pages 134-147) This book was very helpful because it explained several of the Ojibwa ceremonies and practices. It included things like the Pipe of Peace Smoking Ceremony, life Commemorations, and Dances. Highly recommended if clarification of practices is needed.
	Bierhorst, John. The Red Swan Myths and Tales of American Indians Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 1976, pp: 3-33, 141, 149, 167-168, 185-187, 229-233, 277-294. This book is particularly useful for Step 6. It gives some information in the introduction about the meaning of Native American myths and legends-- an almost too detailed means to interpret them. The book has both Ojibwa and other Indian stories. I used this book to get an idea of American Indian tales. It was easy reading. The book did not contain any tales that pertained especially to Ojibwa.
	Bourgeois, Arthur P. ed. Ojibway Narratives of Charles and Charlotte Kawbawgam and Jacques Lepique 1893-1895. Recorded with notes by, Kidder, Homer H. Detroit:Wayne State Press, 1983. This book was interesting because it dealt with new cultures meeting, French and Ojibwa. I was going to use this book for step six, but Basil Johnston’s book proved to be much more helpful (listed below).
	Bray, Martha Coleman. The Journals of Joseph N. Nicollet St. Paul: Minnesota Historical Society, 1970.
	Brill, Charles. Indian and Free. St. Paul, MN: University of Minnesota Press. 1974. This man is a photographer so the pictures are excellent. The pictures can really set the mood for what you are reading. I read a very small amount of the book but picked over it for facts. This is the book that I learned that the Ojibwa people are really named the Anishinabe which means original people. I learned that on P.23.
	Brill, Charles. Red Lake Nation, Portraits of Ojibway Life . University of Minnesota Press, Minneapolis, 1974., pp: 9-147. An excellent source of real life information. It told the story of real people, not just broad generalizations about the entire Ojibwa group. Detailed life on the reservation. This book has a lot of wonderful pictures. There is commentary, however, I did not read much of it. Mostly, it is a good book for getting a real life image of what an Ojibwa's reservation life is like. It has pictures to show what a real spear for fishing looks like, the "houses" built over Ojibwa graves, ceremonial times, and activities of daily living. I read pages 19-31 of this book. It explained the history and how the reservation is run. This helped me with step 5. This book also had many great pictures that helped me see different Ojibwa people in different walks of life.
	Broker, Ignatia. Night Flying Woman. St. Paul: Minnesota Historical Press, 1983. I loved this book and I read the whole thing. It helped me learn about Ojibwa life from an Ojibwa, which is extremely important. I used this for step 5, and especially step 7 because Ignatia Broker and her grandmother that she writes about are both promoters of justice and peace. I highly recommend this book.
	Brown, Dee. Wounded Knee: an Indian history of the American West Holt Rinehart and Winston, Inc. 1974. 1970. It is almost like the cliff notes to Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee .
	Bushnell, David I., Jr. AN OJIBWAY CEREMONY American Anthropologist, 7: 69-73, 1905. This book was the most important one to my study of the worldview. It had the information I needed for steps 5, 6, 7 and 8. Books c Go to books: a-b, c, d, e, f-g, h, i-j, k, l-m, n-o, p-r, sa-sn, so-sz, t-v, w-z,
	Capps, Walter H. Seeing with a Native Eye. New York, NY: Harper & Row Publishers, 1976.

	Carlisle, Richard, ed. The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Mankind, Volume 14. New York: Marshall Cavendish, 1984. This book only contains 3 pages on the Ojibwa, one of which is all pictures. The information contained in it was also contained in my other sources as well. It helped, but the information can be found in greater detail in other sources.
	Clark, Ella Elizabeth. Indian Legends of Canada. Canada: Webcom Ltd., 1960., pp:5-7, 44-46, 68-71, 79-86, 113-115, 120-132, 149- 150. This book is helpful for step 6. It contains an introduction which talks about the selection of myths and legends inthe book. It details that many of the selected myths are used to explain how certain things, such as corn, came into the Indian world/culture. It also talks about some of the characters inthe myths, and what their role/s are. The book has Ojibwa and other Indian stories.
	Clark, Ella E. and Edmonds, Margot. VOICES OF THE WINDS NATIVE AMERICAN LEGENDS. New York, New York: Facts on File Inc., 1989. This book covers many of the Native American legends. I used the Chippewa- Ojibwa which can be found on pages 247-257. I used this book for step number six and I found it to be very helpful. This book can be found in the Ireland Library on South Campus. This source has many different legends from different groups. There was only two that were Ojibwa legends. I still found the book useful for step 6 because I read a few legends from other tribes to get a feel of all Native American legends. This book was easy to follow and very interesting.
	Coleman, Sister Bernard, Frogner, Ellen, and Eich, Estelle. OJIBWA MYTHS AND LEGENDS. Minneapolis, MN: Ross and Haines, Inc., Publishers, 1971. This book was excellent! It covered the authors research about obtaining the information about the legends and the difficulties in getting the legends. I was not able to read the whole book but I really wanted to. I used this book mainly for step six. This book is located at Concordia Library.

	Deloria, Vine Jr. Custer Died for Your Sins. Norman and London: University of Oklahoma Press, 1969. Although this book didn't deal specifically with the Ojibwe, it did offer an interesting opinion that commented on all Native Americans. Specifically I read chapter one (Indians today, the real and the unreal), chapter seven ( Indian humor), and chapter eleven( Indians in modern society). The chapters I read were enlightening and the chapter on humor was particularly interesting (jokes have much more of a function that just to cause people to laugh). Deloria's writing voice drips with sarcasm.
	Deloria, Vine, Jr. God is Red. New York: Del Publishing Co. 1973. This is an excellent book to read if you want to get a general understanding of Native Americans in general. I concentrated on chapters 14 and 15.
	Densomore, Frances. Chippewa Customs. Minnesota Historical Society., 1979 (88). This is a good book for understanding the Midewiwin. This book was helpful for understanding the Midewiwin tradition in step 7, but I did not use much information from that book. This book is most helpful for steps 5 and 6. It contains a lot of cultural, religious, and mythical information, as well as maps, language and other information. An in depth approach. This book was really good. It got into detail about the customs but it didn't tell me that much that I didn't already know. It just went deep into all the customs. If one needed to really probe a specific part of the culture then this is your book.
	Densomore, Frances. Dakota and Ojibwa People in Minnesota. Minnesota Historical Society, 1977. This book gives some interesting information about the relations of the Ojibway and the Dakota. I used parts of it for step 5. Again, use the index to find pages on things you have questions about.
	Dictionary of World Religions,The. Crim, Keith Ed. San Francisco: Harper & row Publishers, 1981. I found this information to be a little helpful in the beginning, but not as helpful as the books I found. The information in the Dictionary covered all the Native American Worldviews and I found the information to be too broad.
	Doherty, Ronbert, Paquin Ron., Not First In Nobody's Heart. Iowa State University Press/ Ames, 1992, pp:3-40. This book is an autobiography about Ron Paquin, an Ojibwa. It details his persomal experience with living on a reservation, in poverty, and the temporary lorries from commercial fishing. I did not read much of this book because it dealt with more personal/emotional information than I needed for discussion on issues of justice, and it had little content about the Ojibwa worldview.
	Drimmer, F. Captured by the indians, 15 Firsthand Accounts 1850-1870. New York: Dover Publications. 1961. This book was an excellent account from the first hand experience of John Tanner, a man that spent a great portion of his life with the Ojibwa tribe. The account of J. Tanner is a bit dated, but he story illustrates many qualities that still remain in Ojibwa ideas today. These ideas just reflect themselves on more modern subjects.
	Driver, Harold E. Indians of North America. 2nd Ed. Chicago and London: The University of Chicago Press, 1961 and 1969. This is an excellent book to use if you have questions about particular points of interest for Native Americans in general.
	Dumont, James. “Justice and Native Peoples.” Native Americans, Crime, and Justice. In this book I read the section, “Justice and Native Peoples.” It was helpful not in any particular steps, but in understanding more about the Ojibwa, and other Native American Tribes.

	Hallowell, Irving A. CULTURE AND EXPERIENCE New York (original date of publication, 1955), 1971. This book was useful in that it provided detailed information regarding the culture of the Ojibwa tribe.
	Henry, Alexander. TRAVEL AND ADVENTURES IN CANADA AND THE INDIAN TERRITORIES, BETWEEN THE YEARS OF 1760-1776 New York (reprinted, 1966), 1809. this is a book that needs to be included when a study of any Native American (Norther America) group is done.
	Hickerson, Harold. THE CHIPPEWA AND THEIR NEIGHBORS: A STUDY IN ETHNOHISTORY New York, 1970. This book was informative in the part of the Ojibwa's tradition and how they look at the present status of the world and its environment.
	Higer, M. Inez. Chippewa Child Life. Minnesota Historical Society Press, 1992, pp: 32-50, 58, 60-102, 106. This book is very helpful in step 5. It contains mostly cultural and religious information. Anything from birthing positionm puberty customs, to incest is covered in this book. I highly recommend it, but remember that all the books will have slightly different comments about the same things. An in depth approach.
	Hilger, Sister M. Inez, Chippewa Child Life and its Cultural Background Smithsonian Institution, Bureau of American Ethnology, Bulletin 146, Washington D.C., 1951. This book is a Godsend. If I had to write a 25 volume encyclopedia about the Anishinabe and only could use one source this would be it. Believe me it really is good. I read the whole book and it was certainly my best resource for this paper. I used it in almost every step that needed research except the influencial promoter.
	Hopfe, Lewis M. Religions of the World. Beverly Hills, California: Glencoe Press, 1976. I used this book in the beginning of my research for step 5. I feel this book would also be useful for the student who didn't know what worldview they wanted to study. I only read Chapter2 which is only 10 pages, but the book covers a lot of religions. This book gives a brief description of animism and Native American Perspective.
	Hull, James. Red Shadows In the Mist. James Hull 1969.

	Jaimes, Annette M. Ed. The State of Native America. Boston: South End Press, 1992. This book was very helpful in Step 9. It tells of various laws and disputes that are occurring with the Indians. The book is long but you only need to use a few chapters. I read Chapters 1, 2, 6, and 7. Some of these chapters were long so I skimmed them to find the information I was looking for.
	James, Bernard J. CONTINUITY AND EMEREGENCE IN INDIAN POVERTY CULTURE Current Anthropology, 11: 435-452, 1970. I enjoyed reading this book, for it gave me some of the answers I was looking for in regard to what the implications were due to the exposition of the Native American to the European ideology.
	James, Edwin, ed. A NARRAITVE OF THE CAPTIVITY AND ADVENTURE OF JOHN TANNER (U.S. INTERPRETER AT THE SAUT DE STE. MARIE) DURING THIRTY YEARS RESIDENCE AMONG THE INDIANS IN THE INTERIOR OF NORTH AMERICA (original date of publication, 1830), 1956. When collecting information from this book, it is important that one only takes the information that apply to the Ojibwa tribe.
	Jenness, Diamond. THE OJIBWA INDIANS OF PARRY ISLAND, THEIR SOCIAL AND RELIGIOUS LIFE OTTAWA (Canada Dept. of Mines, Bulletin 78, Anthropological Series, 17), 1935. This book has some specific ideas and practices of the Ojibwa tribe that I used when writing step 5 and 6.
	Jenz, Thomas. The Woodlands, The Story of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, 1994.

	Ebbott, Elizabeth. Indians in Minnesota. 4th ed., Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 1985 and 1971(p. 1-16, 39-64, 81-88, 122-123, 199-234). This is a good book for step 5 and 8. I used the index and read the pages that were noted under Ojibway'. Ebbott's book was very helpful in my research, especially for steps 6 and 8. Provided an excellent general historical background for step 6. It also provided many useful statistics of the problems the Ojibwa face today, spiritually, socially, and economically. I found this text to be useful to provide general background to the culture and views of the Ojibwa. I used this book in step 5. I would recommend this book. It depicts the current situation of the Native Americans in Minnesota. I wish I could have read the whole book. Pages 18-52 and 65-79 are the ones I used. I mainly used this book for step number seven. This book can be found at the St. Thomas and Hamline Libraries.
	Eastman, Charles A. The Soul of the Indian. Lincoln, Nebraska: U. of Nebraska press, 1980.
	Encyclopedia Americana, The. Grolier Inc. 1991.
	Encyclopedia Americana. Danbury, Conneticut: Groiler, 1999. I barley used this source. It was useful only in giving a very brief history on where the Ojibwa got their name. *I did not think that any of the Encyclopedias were helpful. They did not really specify in Ojibwa culture, so I did not use them.
	Encyclopedia of the American Religious Experience: Studies of traditions and movements. MacMillan Publishing Co. 1988.
	Encyclopedia of Religion, The. Ed. Mircea Eliade. New York: Macmillan, 1987. Volume 4 and 10, s.v. "Native American" & "Ojibwa" Excellent resource for a general background on the worldview, although it is difficult find some of the information because the Native American history jumps around from tribe to tribe. I found the same thing to be happening in this Encyclopedia that the information was for all of the tribes in the United States and the information was too general. I recommend that the student stays with the books because they seem to be more centralized on the particular tribe.

	Ferguson, John. War and Peace in the World's Religions. This resource was ok, although there was not much information about what I was looking for. A general discussion on tribal religion. Not very helpful. This resource was of very little help.
	Gall, Timothy L., ed. Worldmark Encyclopedia of Cultures and Daily Life, Volume 2-Americas. Detroit: Gale, 1998. This book provided me with a lot of information for Step 5. It contains brief descriptions of various aspects of modern daily life topics. I found it helpful in my research because focuses on more recent things pertaining to Native Americans as a whole and then focusing on the specific tribe of the Ojibwa rather than just information from far back in history.
	Grim, John. The Shaman: Patterns of Religious Healing Among the Ojibwa Indians. University of Oklahoma Press, Norman, 1983. (p. 56-169). Grim's book gave me a basic understanding of Ojibwa belief in an academic manner. Especially was insightful in talking about the Medewewin.

	Hultkrantz, Ake. Native Religions of North America, the Power of Visions and Fertility. San Francisco: Harper & Row, Publishers. This book includes an overview of Native American religions. It provided some information, but I only used a small portion of the book.
	Hutchinson, John A. Paths of Faith. New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company, 1981. This book I used for step 5. This is the same type of book as Religions of the World and I used Chapter 3 which is about 20 pages. It was helpful in giving me a broad overview of the Native American Indians.
	Hyde, George E. Indians of the Woodlands-From Prehistoric Times to 1725 Oklahoma: University of Oklahoma Press, 1962. This book has some interesting and relevant information about relations with the Sioux and with the French fur traders. I usedc the index by looking under Ojibway.'

	Johnston, Basil. Ojibwa Heritage. New York: Columbia University Press, 1976. This book is a very detailed writing of the beliefs and customs of the Ojibway Indian. It is consistent with the writings of the Mishomis but in more detail. This was my most used and excellent resource. The book was written by an Ojibwa. The book is composed of story and general explanations of most aspects of Ojibwa belief. It gave me a good feeling of the tradition because of its use of story. I used this book the most in my paper. Written in a format so that it is very easy to understand the complex beliefs of the Ojibwa. I used this source for step 5, 6, and 7. This book is a godsend!!! I used this book throughout my entire paper. It is solely in the Chippewa Indians, their values, beliefs, rituals... I used this book for Steps 5,6,7 and 8 (mainly step 6). I would recommend this book to any student who is studying the Ojibway Worldview. This book was the most useful in step five. The book touches on many Ojibwe cultural values, beliefs, and practices. It contains stories such as the Ojibwe creation story and Waynaboozho stories in The Mishomis Book, but it also contains commentary on Ojibwe leadership, medicine, ceremonies, vision quests, etc. This is the best book to have in order to get a fairly in depth understanding of Ojibwe culture and tradition (I got this book at the downtown St. Paul public library). This book is a a story form which requires you to read it from the start to finish in order to get the full effect. I would read it in this manner in order to get a basic understanding and then you can start looking information in areas you do not understand. This book is good for step 5, 6, and 7.
	Johnston, Basil. The Manitous: The Spiritual World of the Ojibway. New York: Harpercollins Publishers, 1995. In this book I read the introduction and the preface plus the pages 1-9 and 50-95. I found this book to be very helpful for my step six. It is full of Ojibwa history and narratives that have been passed down through moral tradition.
	Josephy, Alvin M, Jr. The Indian Heritage of America. New York: Alfred A Knopf, Inc., 1968. I concentrated on chapter 10-Tribes of the Northeast Woodlands. I also used the index under Ojibway."

	Kehoe, Alice Beck. North American Indians: A Comprehensive Account. New Jersey: Prentice Hall, Ince., 1981. This book is helpful if you look at the index under Ojibway and read those pages only. There is too much other information about other tribes that is irrelevant.
	Kinietz, W. Vernon. CHIPPEWA VILLAGE, THE STORY OF KATIKITEGON 1947. This book provided information on the traditions and cultures of the Ojibwa tribe.
	Kohl, Johann Georg, Kitchi-gami: Life Among the Lake Superior Ojibwa MN Historical Society Press, St. Paul, MN, 1985. This book was very enjoyable to read, talks a lot about the social and ritual aspect of the Ojibwa during the late 19th century. I found this source helpful in writing step five and seven. This is a great book for this worldview. I used this book and Warren's as my primary resources.

	Long, John. VOYAGES AND TRAVELS OF AN IDIAN INTERPRETER AND TRADER 1768-1782, Cleveland, ed. Reuben Gold Thwaites (Early Western Travels, 1746-1846,2) This book is very fun to read. It presents some of the culture-shock some of the immigrants were wxperiencing when they encountered Native Americans.
	Lucas, Eileen. The Ojibwas: People of the Northern Forests This book is a fairly short book that covers the Ojibway history in a very brief perspective. Very easay reading with quite a bit of illustrations.
	Lurie, Nancy Oestreich. COMMENTS ON BERNARD J. JAMES'S ANALYSIS OF OJIBWA ACCULTURATION American AMthropologist, 64: 826-833, 1962. I did not use very much of the information, but it did present some interesting definitions of the manito.
	Meyer, Melissa, The White Earth Tragedy. Lincoln, University of Nebraska Press, 1994, p. 225-235. These were the primary pages I read of this book. This is the conclusion and epilogue. But I also went through other parts of the book to get a better understanding of these sections. The index helped for this. I thought this book was easy to follow and was useful for a real dispute. I plan to read this entire book.

It is short but is very good at giving the history of the Ojibwa. Also this book also has pictures that were interesting. I would recommend reading this book for a clear history.
	Redsky, James. Great Leader of the Ojibwa: Mis-quona-queb. Toronto: McClelland and Stewart, 1972. This book offers a good biography of the great war leader and shaman Mis-quona-queb. I used this resource for step 6. It gives you an excellent feel for their battles against the Dakota in the mid 1800's. It gives a good sense of the early wars and why and how they were fought.

	Rosenblatt, Judith, ed. Indians In Minnesota, Fourth Edition; Elizabeth Ebbott for the League of Women Voters of Minnesota. Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 1985. This book gave a clear background on the identity of the Indians and includes a vast rage of information covering spiritual, political, and economical issues. It includes topics like land, hunting and fishing rights issues, identity of the tribe, governmental relations, welfare, education, and a very large variety of other subtopics. I would recommend it. I found this book to very helpful in Steps 5-8. It has a lot of useful information on the Ojibway and the Dakota. It talks a lot about their heritage, language, values and beliefs. I concentrated on Chapters 1-5 and the Appendixes. I read 100 pages from this book. I highly recommend this book for your study.

This is a story about a white man's interactions with some Ojibwa (Araphoe are apparently related). This book is very easy to read. I did not read much of it because I thought this would have been a good book for step four, but it was too late by the time I had discovered this book to use for that step.

	Stan, Susan. The Ojibwe. Vero Beach, FL: Rourke Publications, Inc., 1989. This book is a little kids book but it gives you a very general outlook of whatever you are trying to find out.
