O-gî-mäw-kwě mit-i-gwä-kî (Queen of the woods). Also brief sketch of the Algaic language by Chief Pokagon ... Biography of the chief, by the publisher.
Simon Pokagon, the son of tribal patriarch Leopold Pokagon, was a talented writer, advocate for the Pokagon Potawatomi community, and tireless self-promoter. In 1899, shorty after his death, Pokagon''s novel Ogimawkwe Mitigwaki (Queen of the Woods)-only the second ever published by an American Indian-appeared. It was intended to be a testimonial to the traditions, stability, and continuity of the Potawatomi in a rapidly changing world. Read today, Queen of the Woods is evidence of the author''s desire to mark the cultural, political, and social landscapes with a memorial to the past
