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.
Told with a blend of scholarly research, interviews, and personal experience of the author, this latest addition to the popular "People of Wisconsin" series shares the Hmong’s varied stories of survival and hope as they have joined Wisconsin communities.
In one hundred essays and poems, Wisconsinites reflect on "hope" in the era of COVID-19 and illustrate that hope can come in many forms: a dad dance, a birth plan, an unblemished banana, a visit from a neighborhood dog, the revival of an old tradition, and more.
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.
