Autorenporträt
Larry Amik Smallwood was a veteran, father, grandfather, ceremonial drum keeper of the Ojibwe, renowned storyteller, language teacher, and expert on Anishinaabe culture. He taught the Ojibwe language from the 1970s to his passing in 2017, perhaps the longest period for any Ojibwe language teacher of our time. He was renowned as a powwow emcee, using his powerful baritone and humor to keep the action moving. Those who had the pleasure of being close to him remember fondly his ability to make people laugh and often smile at the memories.
