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

This was a very interesting book about the history of Native Americans in the Wisconsin area, and also their migration to other areas. It was written from the point of view of Native Americans, and discussed environmental struggles with new settlers, mineral, rice, fish, and water resources, as well as struggles between Native American Tribes. I particularly found it interesting to compare with my own family history on a farm, some family migrations/story telling, eventual cranberry harvesting by Native Americans, and the human spirit. It will enrich any future visitation to such areas.

Great book. So much has been swept under the rug. God forgive us.

Well written and researched history of the people who we took our country from. Should be read and discussed in every school K-12

Lots of information, but not the sort that gives better understanding of this culture after than before reading it.

It is fair to say that the history of Wisconsin starts with the Native American cultures that inhabited these lands long before westerners moved in. This book does a superb job of telling that history from both a scientific and cultural context (utilizing the spoken history shared by tribal elders).

Wonderful introduction to an important and timely subject. I learned a lot and gained valuable context for further studies of a fascinating and complex topic.

If you are looking for detailed descriptions of the different Native American tribes in wisconsin and even there ties around the United States- here is a great read

I am finding this fascinating reading, just wish I would have gotten the book that came with the DVD also as Patty Loew is a great speaker. Wish I would have had a history teacher like her in school.
