Buffalo, Paul. (author.). Roufs, Timothy G., (editor.). University of Minnesota, Duluth. (Added Author).

Summary:

"Long before most of us were born, 'Maggie' Nason, an elder Ojibwe medicine woman living at the forks of the Mississippi and Leech Rivers, had a dream that someday someone would come to write down the history of the customs and beliefs of her people. Shortly before she died she told her oldest son, Paul Buffalo, about her dream, and told him that when that time came he should speak of all of those things she had taught him: 'you are the oldest and I have taught you my ways. Someday someone will ask you about these things... Keep these things that I have taught. Someday people want to hear about them again.' More than thirty years later Paul Buffalo began telling his and his mother's story to a young anthropologist who taped, transcribed, and edited it into the three volumes which you see here..." -- Letter from June 19, 2019 accompanying donation.
