Treaty Shirts

Set in a speculative future, the narrative follows seven exiled natives seeking an egalitarian government on an island in Lake of the Woods. Each narrator, identified by native nicknames, connects to characters from Vizenor's previous works. The novel serves as a profound commentary on the historical abrogation of the treaty that created the White Earth Reservation in 1867, while also envisioning the future of the White Earth Nation's Constitution in 2034. Vizenor's style blends surrealism and satire, drawing comparisons to Margaret Atwood and Neil Gaiman.
