Foreword by Elijah Harper
"This book is many things. It is a work of love of a daughter, Helen Agger, honouring her mother's life and stories. And it is an Anishinaabe history, told in depth and detail, rich in its use of Anishinaabe names and expressions, the language by which people lived and knew the world around them. Dedibaayaanimanook's life from the 1920s onward, in the Lac Seul-Red Lake region of northwestern Ontario, bridged enormous changes--losses of old ways, losses of land and waters and sorrows and encounters both bitter and tender with white newcomers. Through it all, she and her family endured and survived. This is living history in a strong Aboriginal voice that counters and balances the outsider voices that have held the stage or so long."
--Professor Jennifer Brown, Director of the Centre for Rupert's Land Studies at the University of Winnipeg and Canada Research Chair in Aboriginal Peoples in an Urban and Regional Context.
