Back in 1968 a grade 5 student, after studying Indians in depth for five weeks, asked Basil Johnston, a visitor to the school, "Is that all there is to Indians, Sir?"Among the books that Basil has written are Ojibway Heritage, Indian School Days, The Manitous and Crazy Dave.
In addition he has written numerous articles that have been published in newspapers, anthologies and periodicals. But the key to understanding culture is language and to provide this key, Basil Johnston has developed audio programs on cassette and CD.
For his work, he has received the Order of Ontario and Honourary Doctorates from the University of Toronto and Laurentian University.
