Yep, same Louise Erdrich. Her children's books, starting with Birchbark House, are -- more or less -- a reworking of the Little House series from the perspective of an Ojibwa girl. What I find impressive is that they aren't bitter; they have the same wholesome happiness as the Wilder books, even though they don't gloss over people dying of smallpox and been forced to leave their land. These books will actually find an audience with the exact same young readers who enjoy Wilder, I think, for many of the same reasons.

Gnomic Utterances. These are traditional, and are set at the head of each section of the Guidebook. The reason for them is lost in the mists of History. They are culled by the Management from a mighty collection of wise sayings probably compiled by a SAGE—probably called Ka’a Orto’o—some centuries before the Tour begins. The Rule is that no Utterance has anything whatsoever to do with the section it precedes. Nor, of course, has it anything to do with Gnomes.
