Anahareo (1906-1985) was a Mohawk writer, environmentalist, and activist. 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 Anahareos 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 Owls conversion from trapper to conservationist. Though first published in 1972, Devil in Deerskinss observations on indigeneity, culture, and land speak directly to contemporary audiences.

FIRST VOICES, FIRST TEXTS
SERIES EDITOR: WARREN CARIOU
First Voices, First Texts aims to reconnect contemporary readers with some of the most important Aboriginal literature of the past, much of which has been unavailable for decades. This series reveals the richness of these works by providing newly re-edited texts that are presented with particular sensitivity toward Indigenous ethics, traditions and contemporary realities. The editors strive to indigenize the editing process by involving communities, by respecting traditional protocols, and by providing critical introductions that give readers new insights into the cultural contexts of these unjustly neglected classics.

First and foremost, my thanks is due to Anahareos family, including her daughters, Katherine Swartile and Anne Gaskell, and her grandchildren, Glaze and Sandra McKay, for their help and enthusiasm in bringing Devil in Deerskins back into print. Katherine in particular has been immensely generous in telling me stories about her mother, initially visiting me in Vancouver, and then inviting me to her home to share her photographs, letters, interviews, and clippings. It was she who conveyed to me most vividly what an extraordinary woman her mother was: a Mohawk woman ahead of her time, fiercely committed to a life lived for the animals and for the land. Although I never had the chance to meet her, I would also like to acknowledge Anahareos first daughter, the late Shirley Dawn Richardson, who played a pivotal role in helping Anahareo revise and prepare Devil in Deerskins for publication in 1972.
Along with the rest of our editorial collective, I am deeply indebted to Warren Cariou, who conceived of the series, First People, First Texts, and who, in 2010, first brought together scholars and writers to discuss which of the many Indigenous texts now out of print most needed to be rediscovered by a new generation of readers. I am very thankful for all that I have learned while listening to each member of the collective speak during the impassioned discussions hosted by Warren in the cold of Winnipegs winter over the past four years. Among other topics, the debates concerned the how s and why s of practising ethically grounded, Indigenous-centred methodologies of research and editing, as well as publishing, distributing, and marketing. Readers should know that this series is a unique experiment on how to bring Indigenous texts home (however conceived), and how to circulate the books into wider Indigenous communities. I am grateful to the University of Manitoba Press, particularly the director, David Carr, for all his help in making this project become a reality. I would also like to thank the rest of the team at the University of Manitoba Press, including Glenn Bergen, Ariel Gordon, Cheryl Miki, and Weldon Hiebert. In addition, I wish to acknowledge the financial support this project has received from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and from Simon Fraser Universitys Publication Fund.
