Moose meat & wild rice : rollicking tales about life on a modern day Indian reserve

Summary: The Ojibway inhabitants of Moose Meat Reserve live their lives how they will, seeming to embrace a veneer of white culture, but deeply set in traditional practices. Like Thomas King's and Sherman Alexie's characters, Basil Johnston's Indians are a mixed bunch, some looking to white culture for solutions, others rejecting it soundly as absurd. With wit and satire, Johnston offers a lively and funny collection of contemporary Ojibway tales in Moose Meat and Wild Rice
