Join Anton Treuer for a book signing of his new book Ojibwe in Minnesota.

This compelling, highly anticipated narrative traces the history of the Ojibwe people in Minnesota, exploring cultural practices, challenges presented by more recent settlers, and modern-day discussions of sovereignty and identity. It covers the fur trade, the Iroquois Wars, and the Ojibwe-Dakota relations, the treaty process and creation of reservations; and the systematic push for assimilation as seen in missionary activity, government policy, and boarding schools.

Anton Treuer is professor of Ojibwe at Bemidji State University and editor of Living Our Language: OjibweTales and Oral Histories, Aaniin Ekidong: Ojibwe vocabulary Project, Omaa Akiing, and Oshkaabewis Native Journal, the only academic journal of the Ojibwe language.
