Night Flying Woman: An Ojibway Narrative (Native Voices)

I have read multiple books on Native American oppression and annihilation. This was the most forgiving of them all and really stuck to the culture and traditions. When are we going to acknowledge that the Native Americans had it right? I honor those who are sharing wisdom and inspiring us to live right.

This book really touched me deeply. I also made me sad that we "enlightened" Europeans saw fit to destroy a very peaceful culture that could teach us many lessons.I think this is a great book for anyone to read!

Read this book as required reading for a course at the University of Minnesota. I found the story to be very moving. It told of a remarkable, wise woman who adapted to many difficult changes with uncommon strength and dignity.

Assigned this in my university Religions in America course along with Sherman Alexie's The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. Held together these books are especially powerful. This one made an even stronger impact on undergraduate students unfamiliar with the topic, history, people, complexities of economics, cultural imperialism of U.S. Christian "missions" intersection U.S. politics (land grabbing and exiling / brutalizing First People's)

My great great (maybe some more greats) grandma wrote this book. It was a superior story and a super cool reading

This book had a lot of interesting history in it, but the prose isn't terribly exciting. The writing style is kind of dull, and drags down what could be a truly amazing story. I'd watch a movie adapted out of this book in a heartbeat, but it was so slow-moving as a book that I don't see myself re-reading it.

The quaint style of the writer who gave her account of Ojibway culture while being taken over by the 'voyagers' who crossed the waters, seems very authentic and informative. There is an underlying gentleness of the neighbors who were overtaken by a more mechanically developed culture.

A fabulous teaching
