Material Detail

First published in 1982, these little stories were written by students of Freda Ahenakew who were, themselves, fully fluent speakers of Plains Cree (y-dialect). Unlike stories written in English and translated into Cree, they offer us cultural and linguistic authenticity – genuine “Creeness” – in which world view and life experience and even humour and natural linguistic expression are captured without the heavy-handed influence of English.
