Where the Buffaloes Begin
by Olaf BakerFollow Little Wolf to the fabled lake in the south where the buffaloes begin. Watch the huge beasts surge out of the water and onto the prairie, as Little Wolf leads them to a victory against the enemies of his people. A Caldecott Honor Book. Illustrations in black-and-white. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
Where the Buffaloes Begin (Picture Puffin Bks.)
by Olaf Baker"Over the blazing campfires, where the wind moaned eerily through the thickets of juniper and fir, they spoke of it in the Indian tongue—the strange lake to the southward whose waters never rest. And Nawa, the medicine man, who had lived such countless moons that not even the oldest member of his people could remember a time when Nawa was not old, declared that, if only you arrived at the right time, on the right night, you would see the buffaloes rise out of the middle of the lake and come crowding to the shore; for there, he said, was the sacred spot where the buffaloes began." Ten-year-old Little Wolf, an imaginative and courageous boy, is determined to observe this spectacle, and his quest leads not only to a miraculous vision but also to the salvation of his tribe. This Caldecott Honor picture book and National Book Award nominee was hailed by Booklist as "an eminent picture book and, incidentally, one that proves that black and white can move as forcefully as color." The New York Times praised artist Stephen Gammell for his "spectacular scenes of tumbling clouds, of earth churned by flying hoofs, of teepees in the early dawn. But most of all he conveys the hulking, surging, rampaging strength of the shaggy buffaloes as they rise out of a shadowy mist, the mist of legend or dream."
Where the Chill Came From: Cree Windigo Tales and Journeys
by Howard NormanThe Swampy Cree Indians of the Canadian subarctic face not only a cold and forbidding environment, but also a powerful, malevolent antagonist with a heart of ice: the Windigo. Windigo is one of many spirit-beings who have wandered Cree territories since ancient times. It is a major figure in the rich oral tradition of the Cree Indians. Other figures--such as Wolverine, Otter, Porcupine, and Owl--unite with the Cree to defend each other when the Windigo makes its fearsome appearance. In some tales the Windigo appears as a voracious giant, but it takes other, even human, forms as well. Folklorist and naturalist Howard Norman has lived and traveled extensively in the subarctic regions of Canada west of Hudson Bay, collecting and translating from Cree these thirty-one tales of confrontation with Windigos. Complementing the tales is an introduction that includes conversations with Cree elders about the "natural history" of the Windigo, a discussion of its importance in Cree culture, and a description of the manner in which Cree storytellers perform the tales.
