Portage Lake: Memories of an Ojibwe Childhood queer studies are a stunning literary achievementMaude Kegg's memories build a bridge to a time when building birch bark wigwams and harvesting turtles were still part of the everyday life of a native girl in the mid west. In this bilingual book, this elder of the Minnesota Anishinaabe reminisces about her childhood. An English translation of each story appears on pages facing the original Ojibwe text, and the editor John Nicholds has included a full Ojibwe English glossary with study aids.
