First Nations

An intimate and engaging Native food memoir. These stories from the author’s teen and tween years—some serious, some laugh-out-loud funny—will take readers from Catholic schoolyards to Native foot trails to bowling alleys. An intimate and engaging Native food memoir.

The nation-to-nation treaties and other documents discussed here testify to the complexity and sovereignty of Indigenous governance then and now. This volume is a vital resource for historians and an accessible introduction to Indigenous treatymaking in Wisconsin.

From origin stories to contemporary struggles over treaty rights and sovereignty issues, this best-seller is indispensable to anyone interested in the region’s history and its Native peoples. Lavishly illustrated.
