| Summary | "Myths and Folk-lore of the Timiskaming Algonquin and Timagami Ojibwa" by F. G. Speck is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work documents and analyzes the myths and folk-lore of the Timiskaming Algonquin and Timagami Ojibwa peoples, focusing on key cultural narratives and traditions. The text explores various stories involving the trickster character Wiske·djak, as well as other cultural legends, providing insights into the values, beliefs, and natural environment of these Indigenous communities. The opening of the publication introduces the reader to the first chapter, which details the Wiske·djak cycle, a series of tales centered around this clever and mischievous trickster. Initially, the reader learns about Wiske·djak's relentless pursuits, his interactions with animals, and the challenges he faces in achieving his goals. Through vivid storytelling and cultural context, the text illustrates Wiske·djak's various escapades, including chasing beavers and contending with bear encounters. As he navigates through his adventures, the narrative interweaves themes of humor, survival, and the connection between the natural and supernatural worlds in Algonquin culture.
