Book
Always a people : oral histories of contemporary Woodland Indians / collected by Rita Kohn, senior editor, and W. Lynwood Montell, associate editor ; introduction by R. David Edmunds ; Michelle Mannering, project consultant and associate editor ; oil portraits by Evelyn J. Ritter ; portraits photographed by Pierson Photographics.
Forty-one individuals, from seventeen different tribes, representing eleven nations, tell their stories in Always a People. As descendants of people who shaped the history of the North American continent from the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes, the narrators herein continue to feel closely bound to the land from which most of them have been forcibly removed. The eleven nations represented in this volume are the Miami, Potawatomi, Delaware, Shawnee, Peoria, Oneida, Ottawa, Winnebago, Sac and Fox, Chippewa, and Kickapoo. All of the people interviewed here have a very deep and abiding commitment to their families and speak of great-great grandparents as intimately as they do of their parents. All see themselves as real people who do not fit the stereotypes often associated with "native Americans." All speak of the urgency for making room for multiple voices drawn from many traditions.
