Anishinaabe Dreams: Stories of Tradition, Survival, and Identity

invites readers on an accessible journey through the culture and history of the Anishinaabe, blending engaging storytelling with reflective poetry.










From the timeless Creation Story and the wisdom of the Seven Grandfathers to the meaning behind sweat lodges, vision quests, pow wows, crafts, and community life, this book brings Indigenous teachings to life in a way that is both informative and deeply human. Author Sharon Brunner draws on personal experience and years of cultural involvement to share insights that resonate with readers of all backgrounds. She provides an unflinching look as to the sources of historical trauma, including Indian boarding schools, and how they have created the present situation.










"Whether you are discovering these traditions for the first time or seeking a deeper understanding,

Anishinaabe Dreams

offers a thoughtful and inspiring look at resilience, identity, and the enduring power of cultural knowledge. Sharon Brunner uses the strengths of prose, poetry, and pictures to portray the culture of the Anishinaabe People in a way that "beginners", both Native American and others, can understand and appreciate. Each cultural vignette pulls the reader forward."

"

Anishinaabe Dreams

is a gift to anyone interested in the Ojibwe experience. Sharon Brunner shares her Native American culture, traditions, history, and experiences in an accessible and informative way. The poems intermixed with the history and discussion add an extra element of understanding to what it means to be Ojibwe--to be a survivor--both yesterday and today."

"Sharon Brunner's book,

Anishinaabe Dreams

, is a wonderful introduction to the culture and beliefs of the Anishinaabe Native American tribe. The book takes the reader into a myriad of aspects of an ancient belief system that was nearly lost to time and the intentional erasure of their culture by the Indian boarding schools.

Anishinaabe Dreams

not only restores some of what was lost but also introduces readers to traditions that most are unfamiliar with. Welcome to dreams nearly lost."
