Author’s novel provides a window into a living culture

Dr. Anton Treuer (pronounced troyer) is Professor of Ojibwe at Bemidji State University and author of many books. His professional work in education, history, and Indigenous studies, as well as his long service as an officiant at Ojibwe tribal ceremonies, have made him a consummate storyteller in the Ojibwe cultural tradition and a well-known public speaker. Anton’s first book for young adults, Everything You Wanted to Know About Indians But Were Afraid to Ask (Young Readers Edition), won the SCBWI Golden Kite. Where Wolves Don’t Die is part coming of age story and part thriller. It is Treuer’s first novel and a must-read for all ages.
