In every walk of Canadian lifefrom business to education to the everydaythe reality is that increasingly you will be in contact with Anishnaabe World. Knowing something about Aboriginal people and their reality not only gives you an advantage over those who dont, its just plain polite in this country now called Canada.
In the spirit of Thomas King, Drew Hayden Taylor and Tomson Highway, Roger Spielmanns Anishnaabe World is an irreverent, teasing, hilarious, yet cross-culturally astute Survival Guide for Canadians increasingly aware of our countrys chequered past relations between Natives and non-Natives. Chief Ovide Mercredi says I challenge the reader to really listen to what Roger Spielmanns saying.
