Download or read book Minnesota American Indians written by William L. Connelly and published by . This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing a "fact filled" book takes away some of the warmth and affection the author feels about his days as Executive Director of the Minnesota Indian Economic Development Fund. Coming relatively late in his life, he has described his travels to the Minnesota reservations as some of the best days of his life. His frequent car trips to the eleven Minnesota reservations were always long, but equally rewarding as he gained the trust of clients of the Fund. He did this by sitting down with them (generally at their kitchen tables) to discuss their entrepreneurial aspirations, often followed by more trips to offer technical assistance and, ultimately, funding, to allow the development of their dreams. Contemporaries of the author will appreciate the accuracy of his depictions, and brief descriptions of Indian life in this book. Given the opportunity, he would like to spend more time describing what life is like on the reservation from an outsider's viewpoint, but uses this book to challenge his readers to learn more on their own and formulate their own thoughts. Younger generations, including students, can use this book as a tool or springboard to contemplate and learn more about Indian life, culture, and heritage on the reservations -- with the full understanding that increased knowledge is the key to better understanding of any culture that is not their own.

Download or read book Neither Wolf nor Dog written by Kent Nerburn and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2010-09-07 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1996 Minnesota Book Award winner — A Native American book The heart of the Native American experience: In this 1996 Minnesota Book Award winner, Kent Nerburn draws the reader deep into the world of an Indian elder known only as Dan. It’s a world of Indian towns, white roadside cafes, and abandoned roads that swirl with the memories of the Ghost Dance and Sitting Bull. Readers meet vivid characters like Jumbo, a 400-pound mechanic, and Annie, an 80-year-old Lakota woman living in a log cabin. Threading through the book is the story of two men struggling to find a common voice. Neither Wolf nor Dog takes readers to the heart of the Native American experience. As the story unfolds, Dan speaks eloquently on the difference between land and property, the power of silence, and the selling of sacred ceremonies. This edition features a new introduction by the author, Kent Nerburn. “This is a sobering, humbling, cleansing, loving book, one that every American should read.” — Yoga Journal If you enjoyed Empire of the Summer Moon, Heart Berries, or You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me, you’ll love owning and reading Neither Wolf nor Dog by Kent Nerburn.
Download or read book The Road Back to Sweetgrass written by Linda LeGarde Grover and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2014-09-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in northern Minnesota, The Road Back to Sweetgrass follows Dale Ann, Theresa, and Margie, a trio of American Indian women, from the 1970s to the present, observing their coming of age and the intersection of their lives as they navigate love, economic hardship, loss, and changing family dynamics on the fictional Mozhay Point reservation. As young women, all three leave their homes. Margie and Theresa go to Duluth for college and work; there Theresa gets to know a handsome Indian boy, Michael Washington, who invites her home to the Sweetgrass land allotment to meet his father, Zho Wash, who lives in the original allotment cabin. When Margie accompanies her, complicated relationships are set into motion, and tensions over “real Indian-ness” emerge. Dale Ann, Margie, and Theresa find themselves pulled back again and again to the Sweetgrass allotment, a silent but ever-present entity in the book; sweetgrass itself is a plant used in the Ojibwe ceremonial odissimaa bag, containing a newborn baby’s umbilical cord. In a powerful final chapter, Zho Wash tells the story of the first days of the allotment, when the Wazhushkag, or Muskrat, family became transformed into the Washingtons by the pen of a federal Indian agent. This sense of place and home is both tangible and spiritual, and Linda LeGarde Grover skillfully connects it with the experience of Native women who came of age during the days of the federal termination policy and the struggle for tribal self-determination. The Road Back to Sweetgrass is a novel that that moves between past and present, the Native and the non-Native, history and myth, and tradition and survival, as the people of Mozhay Point navigate traumatic historical events and federal Indian policies while looking ahead to future generations and the continuation of the Anishinaabe people.
