Summary
"This short history of Wisconsin's native peoples is now thoroughly updated and expanded to include events through the end of the twentieth century and to reflect current scholarship throughout. From the treaty-making era to the rise of tribal activism in the 1960s to the profound changes brought about by Indian gaming, this account remains the best concise treatment of the subject. Other updates to this edition include new photos and a foreword by noted historian Francis Paul Prucha."--BOOK JACKET.
