註釋"In this rare and insightful book, Thomas Vennum captures the essence of one Ojibwe life. Through memories and letters, Bill Baker comes alive and teaches us what we have almost forgotten: the meaning and practice of Ojibwe tradition. The story unfolds in the context of many of the events and movements relevant to Indians in the twentieth century: the boarding school disasters, allotment, the World Wars, AIM, the takeover of the Winter Dam, the spear-fishing controversy, the reality of tribal factions. Woven throughout are essential native practices: wild ricing, sharing of the fruits of a hunt, a naming ceremony, powwows. Especially poignant is the portrayal of reservation life, the realities of which many Americans cannot or never will see."--Theresa Schenck (Blackfeet Nation and Ojibwe), American Indian Studies and Folklore Programs, University of Wisconsin--Madison, biographer of Ojibwe historian William W.
