About This Item
US: Dundurn, 2009. Paperback. Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. More than 400 rock paintings adorn the Canadian Shield from Quebec, across Ontario and as far west as Saskatchewan. The pictographs are the legacy of the Algonkian-speaking Cree and Ojibway, whose roots may extend to the begi nnings of human occupancy in the region almost 10,000 years ago. Archaeologist Grace Rajnovich spent fourteen years of field research uncove ring a multitude of clues as to the meanings of the paintings. She has writ ten a text which is unique in its ability to "see" the paintings from a tra ditional native viewpoint. Skilfully weaving the imagery, metaphors and tra ditions of the Cree and Ojibway, the author has recaptured the poetry and w isdom of an ancient culture. Chief Willie Wilson of the Rainy River Band considers Grace's work "innovative and original.
