An English Grammar book with an emphasis on sentence constructure.
Simon Pokagon, the son of tribal patriarch Leopold Pokagon, was
a talented writer, advocate for the Pokagon Potawatomi community,
and tireless self-promoter.
In 1899, shorty after his death, Pokagon's novel "Ogimawkwe
Mitigwaki "("Queen of the Woods")--- only the second ever published
by an American Indian---appeared. It was intended to be a
testimonial to the traditions, stability, and continuity of the
Potawatomi in a rapidly changing world. Read today, " Queen of the
Woods "is evidence of the author's desire to mark the cultural,
political, and social landscapes with a memorial to the pas and a
monument to a future that included the Pokagon Potawatomi as
distinct and honored people.
This new edition offers a reprint of the original 1899 novel with
the author's introduction to the language and culture of his
people. In addition, new accompanying materials add context through
a cultural biography, literary historical analysis, and linguistic
considerations of the unusual text.
