Schoolcraft's Ojibwa Lodge Stories

Life on the Lake Superior Frontier

by Henry Rowe Schoolcraft

Ojibwa Lodge Stories, which Schoolcraft later gave the subtile "Muzzeniegun", an Ojibwa word meaning "a printed document or book", contained articles, poems and announcements on all aspects of Native life and customs. The subjects included historic Indian battles, ceremonies, superstitions, burials, fur trade, war chants and songs, totems the effect of alcohol upon Indians, and the intertribal war between the Chippewa and Sioux.
