Everything You Wanted to Know about Indians But Were Afraid to Ask by Anton Treuer

5.0

If you haven't yet gone out of your way to educate yourself about Native Americans/Indians beyond the likely biased and certainly over-simplified stuff you learned in your K-12 education, then this book is a MUST-READ. Treuer is an expert on Ojibwe history and language, so many of the examples provided in the book are from Minnesota and Wisconsin. He doesn't claim to speak for all Indians, but offers a good primer on a variety of cultural, historical, and political issues. The book also includes a fairly extensive list of suggested readings/viewings for further study.

Final note: I'm not very good at maintaining focus on non-fiction books, but this was engaging and easy to read for me.
