"With this writing, Lisa has shared with readers a bit of the heritage and culture of the Native American community in the Gunflint area. These values and ways of life are vanishing from our current lifestyles. Some of these beliefs are like lessons of life, and could be just as relevant today as they have been to the generations of residents who have orally passed them on to us." -Bruce Kerfoot, a seventy-plus-year resident of Gunflint Lake, raised in the way of the woods by the Ojibwa people.
