Everything You Wanted to Know about Indians but Were Afraid to Ask

Anton Treuer is an acclaimed Ojibwe author and professor. He provides thoughtful, engaging and well-researched answers to questions that Native and non-Native young people alike might have about American Indian culture and practices. Questions are grouped by subjects like “terminology” or “powwow.” Some are very specific (“Why is there such a fuss about non-Native people wearing Indian costumes for Halloween?”). Others are more wide-reaching (“What’s it like for Natives who aren’t part of a federally recognized tribe?”). All provide new opportunities for more understanding between Native and non-Native peoples. The original version of this book was published for adults in 2012, but many adults will find the youth version a compelling read.
