Description
This Grade One reader is part of the Reading and Learning Series produced by the Ojibway and Cree Cultural Centre. The readers in this series were developed around the concept of the good way of life. This way of life, derived from living on the land and obtaining food from it, kept the Nishnawbe Aski Nation people strong, happy, and healthy in the past. The ten stories in this reader involve the adventures of Jimmy, Janie, and their family following the good way of life.
This version of the Grade One reader has been translated into Ojibway.
