Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the remote Red Lake area
in northwestern Ontario, "The White Ojibway Medicine Man and Other
Stories" is an intriguing collection of short stories based on the
trials and trepidations of a young doctor treating the Ojibway from
1955 to 1963.
When Joe Weinstein first saw the ad for a temporary medical
position in northwestern Ontario, he had no idea that one month
would stretch into the most intense and challenging seven years of
his life. Thrust into a world very different from his own, Joe not
only had to acclimate himself to the rugged land, but to the
people, as well.
Joe artfully relates his encounters with the myths and legends
of the Ojibway tribes living on reservations scattered throughout
the area, their conflicts with the world of the white man, and how
he succeeded in becoming their "medicine man." Accompanied by vivid
imagery, Joe also reveals the fascinating stories behind the
lumberjacks, bush pilots, missionaries, prospectors, and geologists
who found their way to this remote area for one reason or
another.
Filled with wit and wisdom, "The White Ojibway Medicine Man and
Other Stories" is a heartfelt tribute to the people of Red Lake.
But it also shows the courage of one man to leave the familiar,
enter the unknown, and make a remarkable difference in the lives of
his patients.
