"Dorothy Whipple's recollections, sometimes funny and sometimes emotional, offer insight to the realities of Native American Life. Chi-mewinzha is an easy read that's both entertaining and educational for all ages."-- Northern Wilds "Dorothy's own recollections-- sometimes amusing, sometimes poignant-- offer insight into the daily realities, both intimate and emblematic, of Native American life."-- Anishinaabeg Today "In the Ojibwe migration story, it's said that a time would come when people would go to the elders and ask them to teach us. Dorothy Dora Whipple is one of those elders. In Chi-mewinzha , she accomplishes her mission to share and teach Ojibwemowin and the culture of the Ojibwe people."-- Tribal College Journal, "Dorothy Whipple's recollections, sometimes funny and sometimes emotional, offer insight to the realities of Native American Life.

Synopsis
In the first ninety-five years of her life, Dorothy Dora Whipple has seen a lot of history, and in this book that history, along with the endangered Ojibwe language, sees new life. A bilingual record of Dorothy's stories, ranging from personal history to cultural teachings, "Chi-mewinzha" (long ago) presents this venerable elder's words in the orig, In the first ninety-five years of her life, Dorothy Dora Whipple has seen a lot of history, and in this book that history, along with the endangered Ojibwe language, sees new life. A bilingual record of Dorothy's stories, ranging from personal history to cultural teachings, Chi-mewinzha (long ago) presents this venerable elder's words in the original Ojibwe, painstakingly transcribed, and in English translation to create an invaluable resource for learning this cherished language. The events of Dorothy Dora Whipple's life resonate with Ojibwe life and culture through the twentieth century, from tales of growing up among the Anishinaabeg of the Leech Lake Reservation in the 1920s and 1930s to an account of watching an American Indian Movement protest in Minneapolis during the 1970s. In between, we encounter modern dilemmas (like trying to find a place to make a tobacco offering in an airport) and traditional stories (such as the gigantic beings who were seen in the water chi-mewinzha ). Dorothy's own recollections--sometimes amusing, sometimes poignant--offer insight into the daily realities, both intimate and emblematic, of Native American life. Dorothy remembers an older sister coming home from boarding school, no longer speaking Ojibwe--and no longer able to communicate with her siblings. This collection resists such a fate, sharing the language so critical to a people's identity and offering a key text to those who would learn, preserve, and speak Ojibwe.
