Summary:
"Provides insights into traditional Cree ways of life and the damage done by colonialism. kôkominawak otâcimowiniwâwa /
Our
Grandmothers
'
Lives
is a collection of reminiscences and personal stories from the daily
lives
of seven Cree women over the past century, presented here in Cree and English. Faithfully transcribed and translated,
their
voices illustrate the prominent role women had in Cree society, accurately describe a way of life that existed for centuries, and speak to the decline of social cohesion, deprivation, and destruction caused by colonialism. Originally recorded in Cree in the 1980s, these women share
their
memories of
their
lives
and the history of
their
peoples, describing activities such as household chores, snaring rabbits and picking berries, going to school, marriage, bearing and raising children, and providing insights into the traditional teachings of a society in which the practical and spiritual are never far apart."--Publisher.
