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.

Great read and very informative. My young children and I love to have the discussions after reading the questions. We are tribal members and it’s great to have explanations in ways they understand!

Great book to provide introduction to indeginous culture for young adults (and adults). Accessible and easy to understand while being very through.

Excellent! This book exceeded my expectations. Anton Treuer reminds me of Yuval Noah Harari; they are knowledgeable and passionate. They expertly express the facts clearly and share own opinions/life experiences as well.
