In 1974, Daphne Odjig provided a series of stories and illustrations for Dr. Herbert Schwarz's Tales from the Smokehouse (Edmonton: Hurtig, 1976). Among these images and tales is the present Nanabajou and his Daughter, which can be found on pages 21-25. The story stands out for its bold exploration of desire, power, and consequence. The tale unfolds with the libidinous Nanabajou, a revered warrior and healer, who transforms into a stranger and engages in a provocative encounter with his eldest daughter, only to face the wrath of his many wives by the tale's end. This narrative, when coupled with imagery that directly defies Western sensibilities, beckons readers to explore the complexities of primal instincts and societal norms.
