5.0 out of 5 starsThe Circle Continues
By Tama J. Westman on December 27, 2001
Format: Paperback
In "Night Flying Woman, An Ojibway Narrative," Ignatia Broker tells the story of the forest people, the Ojibway. She shows how the white man's ways desecrated the rituals, laws and beliefs of the Native People, all but erasing their long culture. Classed as caricatures in a land that once honord them, Brokers shows how the Native People "faced bias, prejudice and active discrimination." The Ojibway philosophy for living, that of keeping in balance the purity of man and nature, is revived through Broker's telling of Oona's story, the story of many as seen through the "eyes cast down" of one. An insightful story that continues the Ojibway circle and gives us all the hope of the past for the future.

5.0 out of 5 starsAn Ojibway Legend
By J Martin Jellinek on November 25, 2006
Format: Paperback
Night Flying Woman is a marvelous little book that captures the essence of the Ojibway way of life. The story speaks about reverence of all - the earth, the animals, the trees, and our fellow women and men. We are all intertwined in a reality that encompasses all. Although this is a major lesson in the Judeo-Christian heritage as well, we Christians have forgotten this lesson from the story of creation. Night Flying Woman helps to reconnect with this web of life of which we are all a part.

In addition to the wonderful story, the book contains evocative and moving artwork. It also contains something that is missing from too many books - a glossary of words that are unfamiliar to the average reader. This was a GREAT help.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent Read
By Beth Bennett on November 1, 2001
Format: Paperback
I sat and read this in one sitting. It was that good. An excellent lesson in not needing all the gadgetry this world offers in order to be happy. A great reminder for all of us that we need to care for each other in order we all can survive.

5.0 out of 5 starsLove and Family
By Graciela Vega on March 4, 2001
Format: Paperback
Ignatia Broker through the eyes of Oona engages the reader in a world of change. Oona learns to adapt to her environment and listens to her elders voices. This story engages the reader from the first page to the last. With beautiful drawings and a tale of survival the reader gains an indepth perspective into Oona's reality. It touched me on an emotional level and reminded me of a past which must be remembered.

3.0 out of 5 starsInteresting, but not great.
By Heather M. Cotter on January 31, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book had a lot of interesting history in it, but the prose isn't terribly exciting. The writing style is kind of dull, and drags down what could be a truly amazing story. I'd watch a movie adapted out of this book in a heartbeat, but it was so slow-moving as a book that I don't see myself re-reading it.

5.0 out of 5 starsLoved it!
By owlmadness on September 19, 2005
Format: Paperback
It was a great read. The more I read about the Ojibway the more I wish I had been born sooner so that I could have lived with my ancestors the way we were meant to. I cried when I was done reading it. I would recommend this book to anyone whether you care about the people or not!

5.0 out of 5 starsA Blessing That Keeps on Giving
By sunji on November 19, 2012
Format: Paperback
I traditionally read this book every Thanksgiving to remind myself of the deep blessing of the First Thanksgiving. This land was a land with a rich and caring history long before Europeans arrived. Native Americans enrich our lives by their art, history, language, spirituality and way of life. The conversations between Oona and her grandfather are filled with wonderful spiritual wisdom. I remember my joy of the powered shared by women and the working through living with these strangers dotting their horizon. Wisdom rings true and pure throughout these pages. I highly recommend reading this book to your grandchildren on Thanksgiving to better understand who they are and who they can become living in harmony with the land and with all people. This book is as beautiful as Ignatia Broker herself back in 1983. The new cover is beautiful. Read and you will be changed and blessed.

By Carole Baker on December 20, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Night Flying Woman offered an easy to understand synopsis of the early times of the Ojibways up to the takeover of modern civilization. It is a shame that America did not let the American Indians live as they always had. Australia learned that lesson early on with the Aborigines and left them in peace to live their normal lives.
