Description
As an Ojibwe scholar, Treuer provides an important balance between written and oral history. He writes truly as an Ojibwe who reflects on the larger cultural values of balance and relationship to community. He provides a model for indigenous historical research and scholarship. Organized around the stories of seven significant leaders, this book covers four centuries of the Red Lake Nation’s forceful and assertive tenure on its land, offering not only a chronicle of the band but also a compelling perspective on a difficult piece of U.S. history.
