Summary:

A bilingual record of Dorothy's stories, ranging from personal history to cultural teachings. Chi-mewinzha (an Ojibwe term meaning 'long ago') presents this venerable elder's words in her original Ojibwe, carefully transcribed, and in English translation to create an invaluable resource for learning this cherished language." -- Page [4] cover.
