Larry Millman has done ethnographic work with the Innu in Labrador, who speak a dialect of Algonquin not unlike the dialect spoken by the indigenous people who once lived in the vicinity of World Fellowship.  In this presentation, he’ll discuss his work with Innu as well as discuss the current assaults on their world (mining, dams, etc) by outsiders. He’ll also read from Wolvlerine the Trickster and The Cannibal Lynx, both collections of folktales he collected from Innu elders.

Larry is an author, ethnographer, and mycologist whose books include such titles as Our Like Will Not Be There Again, Last Places, Fascinating Fungi of New England, At the End of the World, Fungipedia, and (forthcoming) The Last Speaker of Bear, not to mention the two aforementioned collections of Innu stories.
