Ojibwe historian and linguist Treuer (Bemidji State Univ.) has provided a gift to the Red Lake Nation, to the field of American Indian studies, and to US history. He draws on extensive documentary research in Red Lake tribal archives and enriches it immeasurably with oral histories. The Red Lake Nation was a leading force in Ojibwe expansion and has been more successful than most in preserving its political and cultural integrity amidst the pressures and exploitations visited upon Native Americans and their governments. Treuer provides a sound summary of four centuries of Ojibwe history in the traditional style of history. He also provides a source for Red Lakes' future generations to understand and take pride in their history and in their national heroes, strong men and women who shaped the nation despite the actions of the US government. Treuer highlights Red Lake leaders and activists White Thunderbird, Moose Dung, He Who Is Spoken To, Nodin Wind, Peter Graves, Roger Jourdain, and Anna Gibbs, applauding them for their genius with only occasional hyperbole as well as acknowledging their flaws. These were people who accomplished much. Their descendants can know them because of this fine book. Indian Country needs more studies like this one. Summing Up: Essential. All public and academic levels/libraries.
