Description
"Betty Powell, of Irish-Ojibwa descent, was raised in the traditional ways of her Ojibwa grandmother, along the shores of Sagnagons Lake in Ontario, Canada. As the white settlers moved into the area, their growing influence changed Betty's way of life. The history of Betty's family is a fascinating narrative of six generations of the Powell's, that begins with great-grandmother Ka-way-wi-gest-kook, in the early 1800s, and continues to the present. Her tales represent how the Indians lived, adapted to the white settlers' ways, and survived in the northern Minnesota and Ontario wilderness during the first half of the century" --P. [4] of cover.
