Red Lake Nation: Portraits of Ojibway Life

By Charles Brill

Book Overview

Movingly documents, in words and pictures, the life of the Red Lake band on a 'closed reservation' in northern Minnesota.

"As an Ojibwa, this reviewer's emotional responses fluctuated between nostalgia tinged with regret for a childhood that Red Lake's present generation will never experience and pleasure induced by pictures that are part of my past. Brill lays out for all to see that the Red Lake Ojibwa are dynamic, tenacious, infused with life and committed to controlling their world. This is an excellent book for the general reader. Red Lake Nation is an informative, respectful portrait of the sovereign Red Lake Ojibwa." -American Indian Religious
