"Myths and Folk-lore of the Timiskaming Algonquin and Timagami Ojibwa" by F. G. Speck is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work documents and analyzes the myths and folk-lore of the Timiskaming Algonquin and Timagami Ojibwa peoples, focusing on key cultural narratives and traditions. The text explores various stories involving the trickster character Wiske·djak, as well as other cultural legends, providing insights into the values, beliefs, and natural environment of these Indigenous communities.
