The Birchbark House (by Louise Erdrich) 271 pages. The Birchbark House is a book about an Ojibwa girl, set on an island in 1847. You will learn about the Ojibwa, their customs, beliefs, foods, responses to the rhythm of the seasons and more through young Omakayas and her family.
The family spends its summers in a house made of birchbark, harvest time at ricing camp and winters in a cedar log house before harvesting sugar maple at camp in the spring. Nokomis always urges Omakayas to learn the old ways of her tribe and to listen for the spirits in nature.
