I have taken an interesting but archaic Ojibwe story which I always enjoyed and adapted it for a children's story. My question is this: when I submit it to a magazine, will they expect me to include the source material? Or is just telling them that it's "a retelling of an Ojibwe legend" enough?

Thanks,
Audrey

Ditto. They are accustomed to retellings of traditional fables and legends.
