The history of the Ojibwe people is complex. This in-depth resource delves into the story of these proud people from the time before the arrival of European colonists through the current issues that the Ojibwe face today. Ojibwes have encountered many trials throughout history, including removal from their lands by U.S. and Canadian governments, relocation to reservations and the resulting difficulties of reservation life, and how these events inspired activism and the American Indian movement. Family life, folklore, and other cultural traditions are also explored with the support of rich photographs and illustrations.
