Book Overview

This best-selling short history of Wisconsin's native peoples is now updated and expanded to include events through the end of the twentieth century. From the treaty-making era to the reawakening of tribal consciousness in the 1960s to the profound changes brought about by Indian gaming, Lurie's classic account remains the best concise treatment of the subject.

Good book to start on

I thought the book was well written, and would have been happy with more detail. There's not a lot on Indian culture here, but the author did provide context to help explain how events played out. Indian tribes were portrayed, not as naive two-dimensional victims, but as competent peoples who just didn't have the resources or knowledge they needed (at first). I'm unfamiliar with this subject and, while I can't speak for the accuracy, the book seemed balanced and covered a lot of ground--a great book to start learning about Wisconsin Indians.
