Bøker av David R. M. Beck

Presents a history of the Menominee Indians from the early reservation years to the present. This book begins with establishment of a small reservation in the Menominee homeland in northeastern Wisconsin, and for the next hundred years the tribe attempted to regain control of its destiny, enduring successive policy attacks by government.

The Menominee Indians, or "wild rice people", have lived for thousands of years in the region that is now called Wisconsin and are the oldest Native American community that still lives there. David R.M. Beck draws on interviews with tribal members, stories recorded by earlier researchers, and exhaustive archival research to give us a full account of the Menominee's early history.
