A Northwoods Window is storytelling in the Indian way: You laugh, cry, and wonder, yet the hidden kernel within each story explores an issue of ethics. Two blueberry pickers, miles apart, start out in the morning and wind up in each other's backyards. Sound familiar? Why do we ignore what we have and covet what we do not? The family that wants the beavers to return to their pond gets more than it expects. The predicament is ridculous, and then the real - but unexptected - issue emerges.
A window provides a view of the outside. Similarly, A Northwoods Window looks out on the wonderful stories of life in the northwoods. yet a window also allows light to come in, and A Northwoods Window posts trailmarkers on an inward journey that Treuer describes as finding one's sense of home and of peace. A Northwoods Window sheds light on beauty, on the gentle metamorphosis of a neighbor girl to adulthood, on a boy's poignant connection with the beauty surrounding him, on a lost and then found friendship, on finding one's way in the woods - and in life. These delightful stories deal with the human heart, with changing relationships with our children adn with our partners, and with changing needs. They are about rocks, trees, and ponds, and the growing realization that we are not so much masterful stewards as equal sharers of creation, that oldest Indian teaching of all. - Dust jacket.
