Par Bernard Assiniwi. 1998
" Chaque nation indienne possède ses mythes relatifs à la création du monde, mythes qui ont survécu au passage du…
temps grâce à la tradition orale de ces peuples. Ces mythes contiennent toutes sortes d'enseignements sur la vie elle-même, la nature, la communauté. Ils sont l'expression du lien intime qui existe entre les pratiques spirituelles et la vie même des Autochtones lors de l'apprentissage et de la réalisation de toute tâche. Bernard Assiniwi s'est donné la mission de faire connaître cette tradition. Tout au long de sa carrière, d'un océan à l'autre du Canada, il a rencontré de nombreux Autochtones et a prêté l'oreille aux récits que ceux-ci tenaient de leurs aînés. Windigo et la naissance du monde constitue donc un important document ethnologique. " -- 4e de couvLégendes iroquoises (Collection Aux quatre points)

par voie orale et jamais transcrites dans leur langue originale. Il les a ensuite traduites en anglais, en en illustrant une partie à laide de pictogrammes. Berthe Fouchier-Axelsen nous les restitue ici dans leur puissante simplicité. Un avant-propos de Nadine N. Jennings les replace dans le contexte de lépoque en rappelant lhistoire de la Confédération Iroquoise. Ceux que lon appelle aujourdhui les iroquois (les Haudenosaunee) vivent sur ce continent depuis plusieurs milliers dannées. Leur riche culture est très peu connue des Nord-Américains. Pourtant, leurs traductions sont toujours vivantes : des festivals de musique traditionnelle ont lieu, les contes anciens se racontent toujours et la création doeuvres dart se poursuit.
