Gr 4-6-About one third of this book describes life today rather than focusing solely on history as many titles do. Full-color photos and reproductions appear on at least every other page; however, in some of the historical reproductions, the Ojibwa are depicted as being savage. Sidebars focus on important people and offer a recipe for popped wild rice. No information about the author is included, so readers cannot determine her knowledge of the subject.
