Reddit mentions of The Mishomis Book: The Voice of the Ojibway

This is not about the region you're referring to, but: I read The Geography of Memory: Recovering Stories of a Landscape's First People this summer. It's about the Sinixt people, whose traditional shared territory includes large parts of BC and northern WA. It's a good, fairly short, non-academic, yet well-researched read. The author isn't Sinixt, but she clearly spent a lot of time with them in writing this book. She talks a lot about food, tools, the land, and navigating the countless rivers of the region. It's a mix of history, storytelling, and personal narrative. From the book, I definitely a stronger idea of what every day life might've been like for the Sinixt.

Shamefully, I haven't gotten around to reading all of this yet, but The Mishomis Book is held up very highly as being a wonderful tool for learning about traditional Ojibwe (sometimes spelled Chippewa in the US) culture. And anything by Basil Johnston is going to be great too.
