Native American Poems: Sioux & Chippewa (Ojibwe)
Native Americans have an incredibly rich oral history, but just over one hundred years ago, this collection of 21 authentic Native American poems of the Sioux and Chippewa/Ojibwe American Indians was published in book form.

However, I have simplified the font and adapted the Native American poems to 8 1/2" by 11" paper size for ease of use in 21st century cl
