Description
Five stories from The Sweet Bloods of Eeyou Istchee in Ojibwe and English-language versions. Stories include Rose Swallow Odibaajimowin imaa Chisaasibiing / The Story of Rose Swallow of Chisasibi; Emily Wesley Odibaajimowin imaa Ozhibogamong / The Story of Emily Wesley of Oujé-Bougoumou; Jack Otter Odibaajimowin imaa Waaswaanibiing / The Story of Jack Otter of Waswanipi; Jennifer Gloria Lowpez Odibaajimowin imaa Waaswaanibiing / The Story of Jennifer Gloria Lowpez of Waswanipi; and Jonathan Linton Odibaajimowin imaa Mistaasiniing / The Story of Jonathan Linton of Mistissini.
The storytellers offer a rich and timely accounting of contemporary life in Eeyou Istchee, the territory of the James Bay Cree of Northern Quebec. The stories are connected by diabetes, but they are not records of illness as much as they are deeply personal accounts of life in the North.
