History of the Ojibway People

by William W Warren

During the early period of white settlement, William Warren -- the son of white man and an Ojibway woman -- recorded the oral traditions of the Ojibway Indians of the Upper Mississippi and Lake Superior regions. His vivid descriptions include Ojibway customs, family life, totemic system, hunting methods, and relations with other tribal groups and with the whites. First published in 1885.
