Timeless: The stories of an indigenous peoples in rural Wisconsin
Ojibway Valley
What you need to know before your trail
In the wooded rolling hills and farms of rural northwest Wisconsin, the presence of the past is felt as acutely as the warmth of the summer sun or the chill of the wintry wind. Traces of it can still be seen in the crumbling barns of deserted farms and the rotting foundations of abandoned logging camp bunkhouses.

The Ojibwe people (c) Wikipedia
Wisconsin
“Ojibway Valley” is about a fictional community in the heart of this setting, and chronicles the lives of people, largely forgotten now, who have either directly or indirectly shaped the present. It tells the stories of native Americans, famers, eccentrics, drunks, and the refugees and exiles who came to the valley in hope of either eradicating or memorializing their own tragic pasts. It tells of the undiscovered secrets they carry with them, and stories about love lost and found, about heartbreak and triumph. There are murders, horrific accidents, tornados, blizzards, and foreign wars that they must endure as they intersect and collide in the hills and woods and fields, the ridges and the rivers, the farms and small towns.
The Ojibwe, Ojibwa, Chippewa, or Saulteaux are an Anishinaabeg group of Indigenous Peoples in North America (Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Ontario. )
They live in Canada and the United States and are one of the largest Indigenous ethnic groups north of the Rio Grande. In Canada, they are the second-largest First Nations population, surpassed only by the Cree. In the United States, they have the fifth-largest population among Native American tribes.
