This book also provides plentiful Ojibwe-language idioms, plays on words, and puns, showing that it really is funnier in Ojibwe. Michael Sullivan Sr., Amik's language student and assistant, introduces the stories and presents them in Ojibwe and English with an Ojibwe-to-English glossary. Plums or Nuts will excite language enthusiasts throughout North America and bring smiles to those who remember this remarkable man--and to those who are having the pleasure of meeting him and his stories for the first time.

Über den Autor / die Autorin

Larry Amik Smallwood was a veteran, father, grandfather, ceremonial drum keeper of the Ojibwe, renowned storyteller, language teacher, and expert on Anishinaabe culture. He taught the Ojibwe language from the 1970s to his passing in 2017, perhaps the longest period for any Ojibwe language teacher of our time. He was renowned as a powwow emcee, using his powerful baritone and humor to keep the action moving. Those who had the pleasure of being close to him remember fondly his ability to make people laugh and often smile at the memories.
