Description: Stories of Our People is a graphic novel anthology which includes the storytellers’ original transcripts, prose renditions of the transcripts, and five illustrated stories. This community-based book is steeped in the Michif-Cree language and culture. Métis stories seamlessly blend characters and motifs from Cree, Ojibway and French-Canadian traditions into an exciting, unique synthesis. Métis stories are an invaluable treasure because they tell familiar stories in interesting ways while preserving elements of storytelling lost to the Métis’ ancestral cultures. Stories of Our People includes stories about the three Métis tricksters (Wiisakaychak, Nanabush, and Chi-Jean), werewolves (Roogaroos), cannibal spirits (Whiitigos), flying skeletons (Paakuks), and of course, the Devil (li Jiyaab).
