Indian Nations of Wisconsin: Histories Endurance and Renewal, 2 Edition in Bloomington, MN

From origin stories to contemporary struggles over treaty rights and sovereignty issues,
Indian Nations of Wisconsin
explores Wisconsin's rich Native tradition. This unique volume—based on the historical perspectives of the state’s Native peoples—includes compact tribal histories of the Ojibwe, Potawatomi, Oneida, Menominee, Mohican, Ho-Chunk, and Brothertown Indians. Author Patty Loew focuses on oral tradition—stories, songs, the recorded words of Indian treaty negotiators, and interviews—along with other untapped Native sources, such as tribal newspapers, to present a distinctly different view of history. Lavishly illustrated with maps and photographs,
is indispensable to anyone interested in the region's history and its Native peoples.
