A Native ‘Ambassador in the Borderlands’

Kirkus Reviews Interview:

In the new young readers’ edition of Everything You Wanted To Know About Indians but Were Afraid To Ask (Levine Querido, April 6), Anton Treuer tackles the questions that pop up like perennials wherever Indians are involved. Living and working in Bemidji, Minnesota, as a professor of Ojibwe at Bemidji State University, Treuer is no stranger to such queries. With subjects ranging from history and tribal sovereignty to casinos, cuisine, and everything in between, this accessible volume does a lot of work in bridging the gap between Native cultures and the rest of the world.
