Warren's History of the Ojibway people provides a fantastic overview of Anishinaabeg history as it was told in the 19th century by the Anishinaabeg of Lake Superior and the Mississippi. Warren, himself an Ojibway relative via his mother, compiled this history by interviewing members of the Anishinaabe nation. The work primarily focuses on their wars with the Dakota, though also touches on their early history and migration, relations with other Anishinaabeg peoples, and the fur trade. This book is definitely a "must-read" for anyone interested in Anishinaabeg history. ( ) no reviews | add a review
