Summary
"Long before the land at the western tip of Lake Superior came to be known as Duluth, it was known to the Ojibwe as Onigamiising, "the place of the small portage." There, the Ojibwe lived in keeping with the seasons, moving among different camps for hunting and fishing, cultivating and gathering, and harvesting wild rice and maple sugar. Linda LeGarde Grover accompanies us through this cycle of the season in Onigamiising, one year in a lifelong journey on the path to Mino Bimaadiziwin: the living of a good life."--Inside book cover
