Wisconsin Indians - Revised and Expanded Edition by Nancy Oestreich Lurie
"Wisconsin Indians" Revised and Expanded Edition by Nancy Oestreich Lurie, with Foreword by Francis Paul Prucha - softcover book published by Wisconsin Historical Society Press in 2002 - 112 pages - book measures 6" x 9" - original price $8.95 - ISBN# 0-87020-330-4 - UPC # 9780870203305
In the preface, Lurie notes: "Wisconsin continues to offer an unusual opportunity to understand the national Indian picture. Over the years the state has served as a kind of national laboratory for most of the government's policies and programs, while at the same time Wisconsin Indian tribes and organizations have exemplified and sometimes led in new developments to improve the lives of Indian people."
"This best-selling short history of Wisconsin's native peoples is now updated and expanded to include events through the end of the twentieth century. From the treaty-making era to the reawakening of tribal consciousness in the 1960s to the profound changes brought about by Indian gaming, Lurie’s classic account remains the best concise treatment of the subject."
