Reviews

As Sacred to Us unfurls the complexity of Simon Pokagon's work and the meaning his publications still hold for readers today. As Pokagon Potawatomi acts of bookmaking, his words and the material presentations of them are important intercultural artifacts. Simon includes several languages spoken by members of his community across the generations and gives insight into Anishinaabe philosophy, geosciences, and theology. This reprinting of his narratives allows the land his ancestors knew as wawkwing dash Au-kee (heaven on earth) to remain part of the way we understand the southwest shores of Mi-shi-gan (Lake Michigan) today. --Margaret Noodin, cocreator of www.ojibwe.net, author of two bilingual collections of poetry in Anishinaabemowin and English
