Description: "When Joe Weinstein first saw the ad for a temporary medical position in northwestern Ontario, he had no idea that one month would stretch into the most intense and challenging seven years of his life. Joe artfully relates his encounters with the myths and legends of the Ojibway tribes, their conflicts with the world of the white man, and how he succeeded in becoming their "medicine man.'--P.
