Description
<div>From origin stories to contemporary struggles over treaty rights and sovereignty issues,<i>Indian Nations of Wisconsin: Histories of Endurance and Renewal</i>explores Wisconsin’s rich Native tradition. Each chapter is a compact tribal history of one of the state’s Indian nations-Ojibwe, Potawatomi, Oneida, Menominee, Mohican and Brothertown, and Ho-Chunk-and the book relies on the historical perspectives of Native people. Author Patty Loew focuses on oral tradition-stories, songs, the recorded words of Indian treaty negotiators, and interviews-as well as other untapped Native sources, such as tribal newspapers, to present a distinctly different view of history.</div> <div> </div> <div>Elders and tribal historians from each of the twelve Native communities represented in the book participated in the book’s development-making suggestions, recommending sources, and offering criticism.<i>Indian Nations of Wisconsin</i>is illustrated with more than seventy photographs.</div>
