She was also the wife of Grey Owl, aka Archie Belaney, the internationally celebrated writer and speaker who claimed to be of Scottish and Apache descent, but whose true ancestry as a white Englishman only became known after his death. Devil in Deerskins is Anahareo's autobiography up to and including her marriage to Grey Owl. In vivid prose she captures their extensive travels through the bush and their work towards environmental and wildlife protection. Here we see the daily life of an extraordinary Mohawk woman whose independence, intellect and moral conviction had direct influence on Grey Owl's conversion from trapper to conservationist. Though first published in 1972, Devil in Deerskins's observations on indigeneity, culture, and land speak directly to contemporary audiences. Devil in Deerskins is the first book in the First Voices, First Texts series. This new edition includes forewords by Anahareo's daughters, Katherine Swartile and Anne Gaskell, an afterword by Sophie McCall, and reintroduces readers to a very important but largely forgotten text by one of Canada's most talented Aboriginal writers. 410 0$aFirst Voices, First Texts 606 $aAnahareo, -- 1906-1986 606 $aConservationists -- Canada -- Biography 606 $aGrey Owl, -- 1888-1938 606 $aIndians of North America -- Canada -- Biography 606 $aNative peoples -- Canada -- Biography 615 4$aAnahareo, -- 1906-1986. 615 4$aConservationists -- Canada -- Biography. 615 4$aGrey Owl, -- 1888-1938. 615 4$aIndians of North America -- Canada -- Biography. 615 4$aNative peoples -- Canada -- Biography. 676 $a971 700 $aAnahareo$f1906-1986.$01572358 701 $aMcCall$b Sophie$f1969-$01545945 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791055503321 996 $aDevil in Deerskins$93847230 997 $aUNINA
