Portage Lake: Memories of an Ojibwe Childhood -Maude Kegg 272 pgs

"Maude Kegg's memories build a bridge to a time when building birch-bark wigwams and harvesting turtles were still part of the everyday life of a native girl in the mid-west. In this bilingual book, this elder of the Minnesota Anishinaabe reminisces about her childhood. An English translation of each story appears on pages facing the original Ojibwe text, and has a beautiful full Ojibwe-English glossary with study aids"
