The Sacred Scrolls of the Southern Ojibway

Out of print, extremely rare find. 
 
The Sacred Scrolls of the Southern Ojibway provides a previously unavailable chart of the emergence and development of a unique religious nexus known as the Midéwewin, an untranslatable Ojibway word inadequately rendered in English as the ‘Grand Medicine Society.’ The Midé was introduced by a young visionary in the late eighteenth century, and later spread from Lake Superior as far as Lake Winnipeg.

In this book, Selwyn Dewdney examines over a hundred Midé scrolls found in some forty public and private collections from Denver, CO to Edinburh, Scotland; and relates them to the mainstream of the oral tradition as preserved in Ojibway literature.

Description

VG book in VG- dust jacket. Book and dust jacket both have light dust staining to the edges due to improper storage. Staining to the upper page edges for the same reason (see photos). DJ has moderate edge wear, including light chipping; small tears; and bumping/scuffing to the edges. Light scuffing to the front and rear panels of the dust jacket. Book is lightly age-toned and has a slight but noticeable bend to the outer edges of the boards (this should be easy to press out and may be resolved by the time of purchase). Please see photos for more detail.

by Selwyn Dewdney, with major contributions by James Red Sky Senior
