Heritage

This week's patron of the week was a good-humored hard of hearing guy in a motorized chair who just found out he is part Odawa Anishinaabe and met his half-brother for the first time! He asked me to please see if he had some books he could use to learn about his newly-discovered cultural heritage.


I found him some histories of the Odawa people, but I forgot to also suggest Everything You Wanted to Know about Indians But Were Afraid to Ask, a book by Professor of Ojibwe Anton Treur that I personally thought was excellent for ignorant white people like me (and, I fear, like our patron of the week).
