Description
"Striking photos and minimal text are used to portray the Red Lake band at work and in community activity ...Brill convincingly shows their unique freedom to maintain Indian ways or adopt non-Indian patterns as they choose." - "Library Journal "A sympathetic portrait of the life of the Red Lake band of Chippewa Indians on a "closed reservation" in northern Minnesota. This is no ethnographic treatise, but the impressions of a sensitive observer, who reports what he has seen and heard...well written, striking photographs." - "Choice" First published in 1974 as "Indian and free: a contemporary portrait of life on a Chippewa reservation", "Red Lake Nation" updates the original material through 1991, following the transition from "closed reservation" to sovereign nation while completing the one-hundred-year cycle dating from the Treaty of 1889. "Charles Brill is Associate Professor in the School of Journalism and Mass Communications at Kent State University.".
