The Red Lake Nation reservation is home to the largest number of Ojibwe language speakers in Minnesota. Professor and linguist Anton Treuer conducted oral histories with Red Lake elders. He was also given access to Red Lake Nation archival collections. He paints a compelling and vital account that includes formation of the first modern Indigenous democratic governance system in the U.S. “Warrior Nation: A History of the Red Lake Ojibwe” is the December Book of the Month.
Correction: the original version of the National Native News story on the Fairbanks Four incorrectly identified the victim, John Hartman. We regret the error.
