Originally published as individual stories in the 1970s, under Billy Blackwell, Director and Editor of the Bilingual Reading Series, Nanaboozhoo Babaamosed brings together these traditional Ojibwe stories, offering readers a treasured bilingual text for language and cultural education. This 2nd edition, published in Ojibwemowin and English, includes original art created for the stories and an epilogue on the history of this project.
Most importantly, as these traditional Ojibwe stories have been collected from the Anishinaabeg, we ask readers to keep with Ojibwe customs: Nanaboozhoo stories can only be told when there is snow on the ground and the thunders have gone south. They cannot be read in summertime or late spring or early fall.
Two of the stories in this collection, "Nishiime, the Lost Boy" and "The Boy Who Turned Into a Robin," can be read year-round.
