Just finished The Night Watchman, historical fiction by Louise Erdrich. It was funny and wrenching, full of real complicated humans with full personalities and backgrounds. Gets into the history of the BIA trying to terminate federal tribes. Strongly recommended.
Alive in Chicago (municipal boundary)Allow me to recommend The Birchbark House series for realistic historical coming of age from a young Ojibwe girl's perspective. Read them with my kids after my mom started them on Little House. It puts the settlers in a very different light. www.nationalbook.org/books/the-bi...
