Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Powerful, funny, moving and personal, Lake of the Prairies is a richly layered exploration of the ubiquitous childhood question: where do I come from?

Grounded in the fertile soil of Meadow Lake are two historical traditions -- Native and settler. Warren Cariou's maternal grandparents were European immigrants who cleared acres of dense forest and turned it into pasture.
