STAFF REPORT

A new academic book about the native language of American Indian tribes in
Northern Michigan is just published this month by Michigan State University
Press.

“Bawaajimo: A Dialect of Dreams in Anishinaabe Language and Literature”
combines literary criticism, sociolinguistics, native studies and poetics
to introduce an Anishinaabe way of reading. Although nationally specific,
the book written by Margaret Noodin speaks to a broad audience by
demonstrating an indigenous literary methodology.

“This book gets to the heart of indigenous writing through an impeccable
examination of Anishinaabe language and literature. Noodin’s expansive
knowledge and clear explanations invite readers to a new and imaginative
understanding of major Anishinaabe authors,” said Jane Hafen, English
professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, in a written review of
the book.
