The Story of Joseph
In March 2020, the Northern Manitoba Area Mission of the Indigenous Spiritual Ministry of Mishamikoweesh published the story of Joseph in indigenous storytelling style, with original illustrations from a Cree artist. It is a full-color children’s book that tells the story of a boy named Joseph whom God spoke to through dreams.
It is available in Swampy Cree (n-dialect) syllabics, Swampy Cree standard roman orthography, Ojibwe, and Dene. You can obtain a copy of the book through the links below.
