Part of the series of humourous stories of Silas Ermineskin and his fellow Cree in Northern Alberta. As part of his apprenticeship to Mad Etta, medicine woman on the Ermineskin reserve, Silas learns a whole bunch of inside information and shares it with us. When he's out on the road with "Brother" Frank Fencepost, the Trickster incarnate, we join a slapstick First Nations tour through the follies of our mainstream North American culture.
Humour as always is the leveller. Nothing is taken too seriously, nothing is sacred. Yet serious, even tragic things do happen and sacred things are accomplished. (from the jacket notes.)
Highly recommended. ( )
