We Are at Home: Pictures of the Ojibwe People

This is an excellent over all book. My personal reason for liking it is, I found the oldest known picture of my family. My great-great grandmother and father are pictured in this book. Finding this picture lead me to do more family research. Good pictures. Thanks

This compendium of pictures taken over the last century in Minnesota's indian country reveal the sufferings of poverty, the pride of the people in their lives, and the ways in which white photographers posed and mis-read these people, in creating images that are at once lame and also in a strange way documentary of the lives of the Ojibwe. This is a valuable book, a moment in the history of the Ojibwe that is too seldom documented. The author tells the story with great sensitivity.
