  • 180 Linda Legarde Grover. Onigamiising
    Transmotion Vol 5, No 2 (2019) Linda LeGarde Grover. Onigamiising: Seasons of an Ojibwe Year. University of Minnesota Press, 2017. 201 pp. ISBN: 9781517903442. https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/onigamiising This book is a very nice read. Personally, I found the book to be very moving. One does not have to be Anishinaabe to appreciate the familial warmth that rises from the pages. The reader can bask in that comfort as one might have done with grandma’s old wood stove. However, the book touches on some of the hard truths of Ojibwe history as well. Those hard truths recall those solemn moments of pain contemplated in silence and finished with a deep sigh in thinking about one’s own family’s history as an Anishinaabe. The book is a collection of newspaper columns the author wrote for the Duluth Budgeteer and is organized around the seasons of the year, starting with spring. As the title indicates, the geographic focus is on the city of Duluth, MN, known in the Anishinaabe language as Onigamiising, the place of the small portage. The focus and the title are appropriate in that the author and her family have been in Duluth for a number of generations. The author is Anishinaabe. The Anishinaabe people are also known as Ojibwe and Chippewa. All three appellations are used in the book. The book covers many aspects of the author’s life, from childhood memories to her current status as an elder in the tribe and professor at the University of Minnesota Duluth. The author will often start a column making an observation about some details of her family life, such as a family gathering.
