Peter Schmalz offers a sweeping account of the Ojibwa history in Ontario, with a narrative based as much on Ojibwa oral tradition as on the usual historical sources. The book begins with a description of Ojibwa life as it was before the arrival of Europeans in North America, examines various wars and uprisings, and concludes with an analysis of present day conditions, demonstrating how the Ojibwa are gaining some control over their children's education, their reserves, and their culture.
