SUNDAY FUNDAY: NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH

November is Native American Heritage Month, so for this Sunday Funday we are sharing the Minnesota Best Read of the Year Book for 2010, an Ojibwe-language (Anishinaabemowen) children’s book called Awesiinyensag: Dibaajimowinan Ji-Gikinoo’amaageng. It contains eight stories by twelve different authors working together or separately on each tale. It is illustrated throughout by artist and language specialist for the Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission Wesley Ballinger (Mille Lacs Band, Ojibwe). 

The book was published by Wiigwaas Press, an Ojibwe-language press started by literary sisters Heid and Louise Erdrich (Turtle Mountain Band, Chippewa), as part of the Birchbark House nonprofit started by the Erdrich’s in 2008. The stories were compiled by Anton Treuer (Leech Lake Band, Ojibwe), who is a professor of Ojibwe at Bemidji State University, and in 2010 it became the first book published by Wiigwaas Press. The several authors in this collection are elders and storytellers who Treuer consulted to create stories with familiar characters, ones kids would recognize from stories in their homes. Treuer states that he first got the idea for the stories from a discussion with elder Nancy Jones (Nigigoonsiminikaaning First Nation, Ojibwe), who is top-listed among the participating authors.

The book production was funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities We the People Grant. It is part of our Native American Literature Collection.
