Myths and Folk-lore of the Timiskaming Algonquin and Timagami Ojibwa

A collection of Algonquin and Ojibwa myths and folktales from the Timiskaming and Timagami communities, organized into narrative cycles and shorter legends. It presents trickster episodes centered on Wiske·djak and creation and transformer narratives featuring Nenebuc, alongside origin stories for animals, plants, constellations, and place-names. Texts include original-language passages, free translations, and ethnographic commentary on ritual practices, omens, and belief. The volume pairs mythic tales with local legends and explanatory notes that record narrative variants and connect stories to natural features and social customs.
