Wongutha Tales in Bloomington, MN

Four wonderful traditional teaching stories of the Wongutha people, plus May O’ Brien’s stories about her early life as a Mission child, are collected here for a new generation of junior readers. First published as individual titles in 1992, May O’ Brien’s stories were ground-breaking publications, presenting traditional Indigenous stories in a bilingual text and giving a unique insight into learning English as a second language from a First Nations perspective. The stories are still as fresh and appealing as ever, and May’s simple pronunciation guide for Wongutha words are perfect learning activities for the classroom.
