Great Leader of the Ojibway: Mis-quona-queb"It is told that from his birth, it was known he would be a great Ojibway, for on that night, the sky was a strange red colour. From this came his name--"Mis-quona-queb", or "Red Cloud." He probably lived in the mid-1700s and is considered the last great war leader of the Ojibway. The tales of this legendary hero, passed down by Ojibways from generation to generation, are retold here with fascinating authenticity. There are descriptions of the Ojibway religion, the society of medicine men, the shaking tent and everything else that comprises a way of life which has all but vanished"--Back cover |
