Candies : a humour composite / Basil H. Johnston ; Kateri Akiwenzie-Damm, editor. by Johnston, Basil. Kegedonce Press, 2015. Call #: 819.7 J72c Subjects Canadian wit and humor.   Humorous stories, First Nation authors.   Humorous stories, Canadian. ISBN:  9781928120032 (pbk.) 1928120032 (pbk.) Description:  v, 194 p. ; 23 cm. Summary:  "A collection of 34 humourous essays and stories, many of which are tales drawn from the author's life experiences. The pieces touch on a variety of topics; from Santa's visit to Cape Croker and tales of teaching students to the saga of a one-legged frog. Basil Johnston was one of the foremost Anishinaabe writers and storytellers, and his comedic stories about life in Residential School, Indian School Days, is a classic. Candies was Johnston's first collection of humorous works in decades.Excerpt from "Indian on Bicycle" found in Candies: "Both cars raced off. Tires squealed. Rubber burned. 50 ... 60 ... 70 ... 80 miles an hour. Behind, the old Indian, his hair flying, his shirt flapping and snapping like a wind-blown flag, was desperately ringing his bell, "ding, ding, ding." ..."Better get ready to flag down a couple of fool kids racing down the road about 80 miles an hour. But you won't believe this ... there's an old Indian on a bicycle trying to pass them!" Basil H. Johnston (1929 – 2015) is cherished as an esteemed Anishinaabe writer, storyteller, language teacher and scholar. He was born in Wasauking First Nation in 1929, and was a member of the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation. He earned his B.A. with Honors from Loyola College of Education. He taught high school in North York, Ontario , from 1962 to 1969, before taking a position in the Ethnology Department of the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) in Toronto. Candies: A Humour Composite was in mid-publication at the time of his passing in September 2015. "--Provided by publisher.
