"Using oral history collected from the descendants of the original shamac artists who left their dreams on Agawa Rock on the Lake Superior shoreline, this book presents Ojibwa pictographs in their true cultural settings.
The rock art comes from a world of rituals, secret vision quests and interaction with the spiritual realm ... preserves the Shingwaukonce Ojibwa family traditions about the Agawa pictographs and the aboriginal history of Lake Superior.
This book brings to life aboriginal art with the previously unrevealed, secret history of the sacred site. Folklore and legends collected from Ojibwa elders help create insights into their world ... Updated version expands the legends and oral history collected from the Lake Superior Ojibwa in the 1970's and 1980's.
The new book also describes the Dog River pictographs located at the mouth of the Dog or University River west or Wawa as well as other rock art sites on Lake Superior. Many rare historical photographs showing Ojibwa life over a century ago are published for the first time in Spirits of Stone."--Author
