Nīhithaw ācimowina = Woods Cree stories
2014
Book
"So often, it is through humour that the big lessons in life are learned -- about adult responsibilities, honour, and respect. Cree people love to make jokes and laugh, so the tales in Woods Cree Stories are filled with wit. The book includes nine stories -- including Boys get lost, Foolishness, and Animals become friends -- and a Woods Cree-to-English glossary. All the stories are presented in Cree syllabics, standard Roman orthography, and English translation"--Provided by publisher.
