More about the book

The memoir vividly captures John Rogers' early life on Minnesota's White Earth Reservation, detailing the rich customs and daily activities of the Chippewa people, including food-gathering, crafting canoes, and engaging in sacred rituals. However, his experiences shift dramatically when he is taken to a white school, highlighting the struggle between cultural preservation and forced assimilation. Melissa L. Meyer’s foreword contextualizes Rogers' story within the broader history of the White Earth Reservation, enriching the narrative's significance.
