Sootface is a Native American Cinderella story. It is a tale of the Northeast and Great Lakes tribes such as the Ojibwa and Algonquian groups. The illustrations, clothing and setting reflect mid-eighteenth Ojibwa village life. In this story there is no wife or stepmother but there are three daughters.

Question
