Using oral history collected from the descendants of the original shaman 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 spirital realm.
Spirits on Stone 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.
