This memoir of the first Native Head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs was super interesting and informative. I think we often talk about Native American history as the trail of tears/ending when they were sent to reservations but that's obviously not the case. To hear about the termination of their Federal aid, the allotment attempts, and how similar things happened to different Native Nations was really interesting. Especially since it was all taking place in Wisconsin. I also thought hearing about all of her early work as a Social Worker and programs like the Waite House and PRIDE gave great insight into how policy can facilitate the building of communities.
Super recommend esp for health and human services policy nerds.

I picked up this memoir because I was inviting Ada to speak at an event I organized, and I am so honored to have met this remarkable woman and learned about her life experience. The work she has done for her Tribe, and in service has been incredible.
If you want to hear her live in action, check out her talk during this keynote event at Red Rocks Amphitheater in October 2019.
