In \u003ci\u003eOnigamiising\u003c\/i\u003e Linda LeGarde Grover accompanies us through this cycle of the seasons, one year in a lifelong journey on the path to Mino Bimaadiziwin, the living of a good life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn fifty short essays, Grover reflects on the spiritual beliefs and everyday practices that carry the Ojibwe through the year and connect them to this northern land of rugged splendor. As the four seasons unfold--from Ziigwan (Spring) through Niibin and Dagwaagin to the silent, snowy promise of Biboon--the award-winning author writes eloquently of the landscape and the weather, work and play, ceremony and tradition and family ways, from the homey moments shared over meals to the celebrations that mark life's great events. Now a grandmother, a Nokomis, beginning the fourth season of her life, Grover draws on a wealth of stories and knowledge accumulated over the years to evoke the Ojibwe experience of Onigamiising, past and present, for all time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLinda LeGarde Grover's short fiction collection \u003ci\u003eThe Dance Boots\u003c\/i\u003e received the Flannery O'Connor Award as well as the Janet Heidinger Kafka Prize; her novel \u003ci\u003eThe Road Back to Sweetgrass\u003c\/i\u003e (Minnesota, 2014) received the Wordcraft Circle of Native Writers and Storytellers 2016 Fiction Award, and her poetry collection \u003ci\u003eThe Sky Watched: Poems of Ojibwe Lives\u003c\/i\u003e received the Northeastern Minnesota Book Award and the Red Mountain Press Editor's Award.
