Based on her research for her award-winning title for adults, Indian Nations of Wisconsin: Histories of Endurance and Survival, author Patty Loew has tailored this book specifically for young readers.

Native People of Wisconsin tells the stories of the twelve Native Nations in Wisconsin, including the history of the First People in Wisconsin and the impact of European arrivals on Native culture. Young readers will become familiar with the unique cultural traditions, tribal history, and life today for each nation.

Complete with maps, illustrations, and a detailed glossary of terms, this highly anticipated new edition includes two new chapters on the Brothertown Indian Nation and Urban Indians, as well as updates on each tribe’s current history and new profiles of outstanding young people from every nation.
