The document provides an examination of the book "The History of the Ojibway People" by William W. Warren. William W. Warren was of mixed Ojibway and white heritage and used his knowledge of the Ojibway language and relationships with both white and Ojibway people to document Ojibway traditions and oral histories at a time when their culture was threatened. The reviewer chose to read the book to learn more about the Ojibway people and their way of life. While Warren intended to write a multi-volume work, he only completed one volume before tragically dying at a young age, though his work helped preserve important aspects of Ojibway culture and history.
