"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-English glossary. All the stories are presented in Cree syllabics, Standard Roman Orthography, and English translation"-- Provided by publisher.
