Volume 148 in the Civilization of the American Indian Series "The Chippewas of Lake Superior is a solid blend of history, ethnology, and journalism that provides us with a sweeping account of over 300 years of Chippewa history. . . .Unlike many books about Indians, this one does not end with the defeat of the Indians. The author brings the Chippewas' story right up to the present, and in the process he shows that the Chippewas are still an active, vital tribal entity. Danziger points out that all Americans can learn much from the Chippewas' story, 'if we listen.'"-Western Historical Quarterly. "Well researched and written, the book utilizes both primary and secondary sources. Especially valuable were 24 personal interviews conducted in 1975 with reservation Indians. . . .Danziger is to be commended for his effort as it is a valuable contribution to Indian history and will be helpful in a further understanding of the Chippewas in American life. Both the specialist and the general reader will find the study meaningful."-Ohioana Quarterly. "This handsome volume is an excellent addition to our study of the Lake Superior Chippewa bands. . . .The book will be welcomed by scholars and the general reader interested in the history of the Native American."-Journal of the West. "An admirable job of summarizing and synthesizing a wealth of documentation. . . .Highly recommended."-Library Journal.

"This book tells the story of the Chippewa Indians in the regions around Lake Superior-the fabled land of Kitchigami. It tells of their woodland life, the momentous impact of three centuries of European and American societies on their culture, and how the retention of their tribal identity and traditions proved such a source of strength for the Chippewas that the federal government finally abandoned its policy of coercive assimilation of the tribe. The Chippewas, especially the Lake Superior bands, have been neglected by historians, perhaps because they fought no bloody wars of resistance against the westward-driving white pioneers who overwhelmed them in the nineteenth century. Yet, historically, the Chippewas were one of the most important Indian groups north of Mexico. Their expansive north woods homeland contained valuable resources, forcing them to play important roles in regional enterprises such as the French, British, and American fur trade. Neither exterminated nor removed to the semiarid Great Plains, the Lake Superior bands have remained on their native lands and for the past century have continued to develop their interests in lumbering, fishing, farming, mining, shipping, and tourism. Now, for the first time in three hundred years, white domination is no longer the major theme of Chippewa life. The chains of paternalism have been broken. The possessors of many federal and state contracts, confident in their administrative ability, proud of their Indian heritage, and well organized politically, the Lake Superior bands are determined to chart their own course. In bringing his readers this overview of the Chippewa experience, the author emphasizes major themes for the entire sweep of Lake Superior Chippewa history. He focuses in detail on events, regions, and reservations which illustrate those themes. Historians, ethnologists, other Indian tribes, and the Chippewas themselves will find much of interest in this account of how previous tribal experiences have shaped Chippewa life in the 1970's....."
