"[In this] story of a young Ojibwa girl, Omakayas, living on an island in Lake Superior around 1847, Louise Erdrich is reversing the narrative perspective used in most children's stories about nineteenth-century Native Americans. Instead of looking out at 'them' as dangers or curiosities, Erdrich, drawing on her family's history, wants to tell about 'us', from the inside. The Birchbark House establishes its own ground, in the vicinity of Laura Ingalls Wilder's 'Little House' books." --The New York Times Book Review

Omakias is an Ojibwe girl living on the Island of the Yellow Brested Woodpecker, or known to people today as Madeline Island in the Apostle Islands of Lake Superior. This books tells of the adventures, hardships and changes that Omakias faces as she grows and sees the world around her evolve, fall and rise. This is a beautiful book and the rest in this series are just as amazing. I loved reading this book and getting a glimpse into the lives of the Ojbwe indians that lived here long ago.
