I Will Remember - Inga-minjimendam

by Kimberley K Nelson

Illustrations by Clem May. Includes CD of the text read by Anton Treuer.

"My name is Vernon. I am Ojibwe"

With these words the author introduces the young narrator who takes us through the everyday experiences that he most enjoys -- a walk along the lakeshore or through the woods, "looking at all the little animals that are there," netting fish with his father, swimming, ice fishing, going to pow-wows.  "But most of all," he says, "I like to listen to my grandfather tell stories. He tells all sorts of legends to me, and about all those things he did when he was small."

The bi-lingual text -- English and Ojibwe -- is imaginatively and colorfully illustrated from the artist's own experiences living near the shores of Red Lake in northern Minnesota.
