Abstract

Linguists and students of reservation-period Indian lore should welcome this finely crafted book. The heart of the work is a series of recordings of Alice Ahenakew, a prominent elderly Plains Cree woman from northern Saskatchewan. These are the memoirs of her life, lived in a haunted half-way world between a subarctic foraging culture and the twentieth- century industrial West.
