As Oona ages she is forced into assimilation. The story recalls the hardships the Ojibwe people have had to overcome. It shows the great resilience of a people who were forced to change every aspect of their life. Oona shares a message about how the people carried on their culture and traditions.
Good read. Paints a good picture of the changes a culture can experience in one lifetime. The good, bad, & drastic shifts. Often forced upon a people.
With the art of a practiced storyteller, Ignatia Broker recounts the life of her great-great-grandmother, Night Flying Woman, who was born in the mid-19th century and lived during a chaotic time of enormous change, uprootings, and loss for the Minnesota Ojibway. But this story also tells of her people's great strength and continuity.
