Indian Nations of Wisconsin: Histories of Endurance and Renewal

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, "Indian Nations of Wisconsin" is indispensable to anyone interested in the region's history and its Native peoples.

The first edition of "Indian Nations of Wisconsin: Histories of Endurance and Renewal," won the Wisconsin Library Association's 2002 Outstanding Book Award."
