But I was raised in Michigan and delighted to read a scholarly account of its native culture. You'll feel good about the read and supporting the author's efforts.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.

Brenda Child falls into this category and also covers a specific subject (the women of the Objibwe) with thorough research and a very readable book.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
