"Met́is stories seamlessly blend characters and motifs from Cree, Ojibway, and French-Canadian traditions into an exciting, unique synthesis. Met́is stories are an invaluable treasure because they tell familiar strories in interesting ways while preserving elements of storytelling which have become rare to the Met́is ancestral cultures. The Stories of Our People/Lii zistwayr di la naasyoon di Michif series includes stories about three Met́is tricksters (Wiisakaychak, Nanabush, and Chi-Jean), werewolves (Roogaroos), cannibal spirits (Whiitigos), flying skeletons (Paakuks), and of course, the Devil (li Jiyaab). The stories are steeped in Michif language and culture"--Page 4 of cover.
