• W2293858774 abstract "Anahareo, Devil In Deerskins: My Life with Edited with an afterword by Sophie McCall. Winnipeg: University of Manitoba Press, 2014. 240 pages. ISBN 978-0-88755-765-1. $27.95 paperback.It is with excitement that I greeted Devil In Deerskins, the inaugural volume of the Voices, First Texts series published by the University of Manitoba Press. This series, the editors tell us, aims to reconnect contemporary readers with some of the most important Aboriginal literature of the past, much of which has been unavailable for decades. Although revised significantly, the 1972 Devil In Deerskins is based on the earlier My Life With Owl, originally published 1940. Not only does this make memoir the first of its kind by an Aboriginal woman Canada, it stands as an invaluable source into the life and times of both and Grey Owl. is fitting then that the series begins by publishing a text that marks both the emergence and continuance of contemporary Aboriginal writing Canada. Edited and briefly commented upon by Sophie McCall, a literary scholar teaching Simon Fraser University, the new edition is indeed impressive: the quality of the production, including everything from paper stock to design is outstanding. is a book that simply feels good to hold.And it is with such flourish that narrative is given new life. This is not to say that the original 1972 text has changed. On the contrary, wary that Anahareo's first book was subject to condescending editing procedures, and that until recent times very few Aboriginal authors' voices escaped unpurged, McCall makes it clear her afterword that, in preparing this edition, we have corrected obvious typographical errors and modernized some spellings but beyond that have changed very little to nothing. Certainly responsible editing is essential, but because McCall receives front-cover credit for her editorial work, I have to say I was expecting more. When I first cracked open the book, I had hoped that McCall had found long lost papers, or least an earlier version of the manuscript, and was including some of this material into the text or bibliography. But this was not to be, and I have to say that I was disappointed.Nevertheless, those unfamiliar with writing will be intrigued by her original voice, because above all, Anahareo is a wonderful storyteller. And she paints for us the story of her life with Archie Belaney Owl as though it was an adventure story. From the first sentence, she plunges the reader into the life of a young, rather privileged, Mohawk-Algonquin woman, who by all accounts eschews social conventions, namely her upwardly mobile trajectory, to carve out her own idiosyncratic life the bush; a life that she and Archie Belaney shared the rugged northern Ontario and Quebec of the 1920s and 30s. We see her snowshoeing to Belaney's cabin: It was the Moon of the Windigo and the tamarack, sounding like rifle fire cracked the freezing night. To thwart expectations and stereotypes, she makes it clear that she does not enjoy the experience the least: Unaccustomed to showshoeing, I trudged on as if a dream - a nightmare, to be more precise. We learn that Gertrude Bernard was born at Mattawa on June 18,1906 and raised by her extended family, including an influential Mohawk grandmother, who taught her to sew, bead, make deerskin mitts and moccasins, embroider, crochet, knit, tan hides and make soap. These were all useful skills she would later employ when living with Belaney. …" @default.
