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.
