The Power of the Little People is an evocative collection of stories about the Maymaygwesiwak, the little people of Anishinaabe culture. Encounters with Maymaygwesiwak are sometimes beneficial and sometimes troublesome, yet they are always instructive, for the little people are guardians of the earth and of tradition. Their knowledge of medicine and ceremony is profound, and from them all humans can learn to live in agreement with the world.
These ancient stories, originating on the north shore of Lake Huron, were transcribed from Bomgiizhik Isaac Murdoch’s own storytelling. They possess an immediacy and relevance that is timeless. They will weave you in and out of the Anishinaabe sacred blanket of knowledge that covers a people who have lived on the lands in harmony since their creation.
These stories are presented both in English and Anishinaabemowin, and as such the text is a significant contribution to Indigenous language revitalization.
