The Mishomis Book is the history, philosophy and teachings of the Ojibway people, as passed down through generations. Mishomis is the word for Grandfather in Ojibway.

The book starts with the Ojibway creation story and takes the reader on a journey through the important stories and traditions of the Ojibway people.

It is a documentation of the oral stories passed down from grandfather, to father, to son. Edward Benton-Banai said this is the first book written in the manner of the "oral tradition, and I hope it is only the beginning." (From mishomisbook.wordpress.com)
