Quote from newpapers about
Wilmer Nadjiwon,
Indian Carver:

"Highway into history

Nawash elder wants campground
to bridge two solitudes...

...Nadjiwon has always had
an intense interest in preserving
the ancient Ojibwa lifestyle.
His desire to pass those life-skills
on to his heirs,
and to introduce non-natives
to his people's ways
was the spark that set fire
to his ambition"
(Grey-Bruce This Week July 31 1998)

"taking a step toward a better future for inter-cultural relations"
(The Sun Times July 1998)

"The outdoors is omnipresent in the studio Nadjiwon built beside his home"
(The Sun Times Jan 26, 1991)

"Nadjiwon's work is sought after by a parade of tourists...as well as collectors across the country"
(The Sun Times Aug 29, 1987)

"Wilmer Nadjiwon wants to revitalize a dying Indian art"
(Folklife Times Expo 1986)

"He sits in the midst of the
Sunday market throng.
Wiry, lichen-gray hair hangs long; furrowed brown face shadowed beneath the round leather hat.
Blue veins, root-twisted
in rough hands,
supple fingers twined around
chisel and mallet;
Sturdy limbs, gently sway
As he brings back to life..
The stump of wood"
(THE WOODCARVER
