Book Description
This book is an attempt to acknowledge and honor past leaders of the Ojibwa tribe. I use the name Ojibwa largely in part due to habit. Some prefer to use "Chippewa," others prefer to use "Saulter" and lately many prefer "A-nish-in-a-beg." The time period covered in this book, is approximately 1690 - 1890 and includes the early French contact, British influence and finally the American accultration and alienation. The geographic area inhabited by the Ojibwa involved in this study includes Southern Ontario, Canada and the states of Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. The names are in alphabetical order, with the most popular name listed first. Many of the Chief's names are followed by the interpreted English name while other names could not be interpreted for various reasons -- from Pref.

Book Description
Dennis Banks, an American Indian of the Ojibwa Tribe and a founder of the American Indian Movement, is one of the most influential Indian leaders of our time. In Ojibwa Warrior, written with acclaimed writer and photographer Richard Erdoes, Banks tells his own story for the first time and also traces the rise of the American Indian Movement (AIM). The authors present an insider’s understanding of AIM protest events—the Trail of Broken Treaties march to Washington, D.C.; the resulting takeover of the BIA building; the riot at Custer, South Dakota; and the 1973 standoff at Wounded Knee. Enhancing the narrative are dramatic photographs, most taken by Richard Erdoes, depicting key people and events.
