The Menominee Indians, or wild rice people, have lived for thousands of years in the region that is now called Wisconsin and are the oldest Native American community that still lives there. But the Menominee's struggle for survival and rights to their land has been long and hard. David R. M. Beck draws on interviews with tribal members, stories recorded by earlier researchers, and exhaustive archival research to give us a full account of the Menominee's early history. Beginning in the seventeenth century, the Menominee's traditional way of life was intensely pressured by a succession of outsiders. Native nations attacked other Native nations, forcing their dislocation, and Europeans introduced the fur trade to the area, disrupting the traditional economy and way of life. In the nineteenth century Anglo-Americans poured into the Old Northwest and surrounded the Menominee; as a result the Menominee people were confined to a reservation in 1854. Beck examines these crucial early events from an ethnohistorical perspective, adding Menominee voices to the story and showing how numerous individuals and leaders in the trading era and later worked diligently to survive. The story is a complicated one: some Menominees encouraged radical cultural change, while others--as well as some non-Menominees--aided the community in its struggle to maintain traditions. Beck provides the most complete written history to date of this enduring Indian nation.Binding Type: Hardcover

Loving my Bedsure Blanket
Color: Cream, Size: King (108" X 90")
I love this blanket. It’s for summer use & is the perfect weight. I feel both cozy and cool! Plus color & size are as shown. I washed it immediately and it was easy & came out soft; no shrinkage or shedding in the dryer.

Very soft. Light Blue is more of a sky blue
Color: Light Blue, Size: Throw XL (50" X 70")
Very soft, pretty thin, and a little stretchy. Overall, it looks nice. I would say it's a little thin for the colder weather, but great for the warmer months. I got the light blue, and it is a little more sky blue than true baby blue. I wish it were a true blue, but it's close enough that I'll keep it rather than go through the return process. I washed it, and little fuzzies came free, but nothing too alarming for a first wash. Hopefully, it doesn't do that every time. With how thin it is, there'll be nothing left eventually.

Super soft and strong , really nice blanket
Color: Navy, Size: Queen (90" X 90"), Color: Navy, Size: Queen (90" X 90")
This blanket is so soft. This blanket has stretch to it which is nice for tucking under mattress. Easy to lay out and fits perfectly on a queen bed, perfect amount of hangover. Great quality blanket.
I did wash before I put on the bed and it did great. Shed in dryer but that’s easy clean up in vent.
No shedding on bed after washed. I laid on bed before washed and it only shed a small amount, not much.
I absolutely love this material, strong yet super soft.
Definitely a great blanket to buy! You’ll love it.
