Description

Stories and language are vital tools for carrying on the culture, values, and beliefs of the Ojibwe people. This activity and coloring book presents four traditional stories that have been passed down through the generations to help us understand the world around us, as well as to entertain. Learn about the origin of dreamcatchers, how the turtle got his shell, how the loon came to be, and how the bear lost his tail. Additional games and puzzles help young readers test their knowledge of these amazing tales.

The Ojibwe Traditions Coloring and Activity Book Series offers children and their families the opportunity to learn about Ojibwe lifeways and teachings in an engaging and accessible manner. Included in each coloring book are word scrambles, mazes, and other activities to help children and their families engage more deeply with the information and have fun at the same time. While younger children (3+) can enjoy simply coloring the pages, older children (6+) can also use the stories and glossaries to start learning more about the language and traditions of the Ojibwe people.

The other books in the series are The Powwow Coloring Book, The Sugaring Coloring Book, and the Wild Ricing Coloring and Activity Book—all available from the Wisconsin Historical Society Press.
