"[In this] story of a young Ojibwa girl, Omakayas, living by using an island in Lake Superior around 1847, Louise Erdrich is reversing the narrative perspective used in most children's stories about nineteenth-century Native Americans. Rather than looking out at 'them' as dangers or curiosities, Erdrich, drawing on her family's history, wants to see about 'us', from the within. The Birchbark House establishes its ground, near Laura Ingalls Wilder's 'Little House' books." --The NY Times Book Review
