No rating, since I read this for work. However, I will say I found this very informative, and was grateful to participate in a book group discussion facilitated by the Wisconsin Disproportionality Technical Assistance Network.

This book is such a valuable resource on Wisconsin history, shining a spotlight on the specific Indian nations who live here and their unique histories. Patty Loew covers a ton of complicated topics within each chapter with extremely clear and accessible language. I'm glad that I read the 2nd edition because the examples/news she added in were all really interesting - I hope there are more editions to come! Reading this not only made me feel more informed about our history but also think about what I can take away and apply to my work going forward. Highly recommend!

Not a bad book as far as textbooks go. Each chapter focuses on the general history of a different tribe that either moved to or originated in Wisconsin. Not a difficult reading level but I just couldn't get excited about what I was reading or keep a ton of it straight. Perhaps I'd have retained more if they're been more references to what the other tribes were going though at the time to A) keep them straight and B) develop a clearer timeline for the reader. Nothing personal - I have a habit of not liking textbooks much.
