Most Americans have grown up knowing next to nothing about the 500+ tribal nations that were already here when Columbus arrived. We have little idea about their ways of life, their histories, and their current status. We rarely even think about them. And when we do, the picture we see is often distorted by murky images of casinos, feather headdresses, and tomahawks. In this adaptation of his award-winning book for adults, Dr. Treuer gives us a fascinating glimpse into tribal America today. He covers everything from the more common (How come no one lives in tipis anymore?) to the more personal (Why is there no Native Appropriation Appreciation Day?) to the more political (Why is it called a \"massacre\" when Indians are killed and a \"battle\" when Europeans are killed?). Dr. Treuer's answers are always candid, often revelatory, and consistently grounded in deep research and lived experience. This is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the people who were here first.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom the acclaimed Ojibwe author and professor Anton Treuer comes an essential book of questions and answers for Native and non-Native young readers alike.

For twenty years, Democrats have controlled all three branches of government, enacting carbon-cutting schemes that never made it to a vote in our world.

When Maddie learns that the Eighth Ward is to be sacrificed for a new electromagnetic hyperway out to the wealthy, white suburbs, she joins “Save the Eighth,” a Black-led organizing movement fighting for the neighborhood. At first, she’s only focused on keeping her band together and getting closer to Red, their reckless and enigmatic lead guitarist. But working with Save the Eighth forces Maddie to reckon with the harm she has already done to the neighborhood—both as a resident of the gentrifying Lab and as a white teacher in a predominantly Black school.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen police respond to Save the Eighth protests with violence, the Lab becomes the epicenter of “The Free People’s Village”—an occupation that promises to be the birthplace of an anti-capitalist revolution. As the movement spreads across the U.S., Maddie dreams of a queer, liberated future with Red. But the Village is beset on all sides—by infighting, police brutality, corporate-owned media, and rising ecofascism. Maddie’s found family is increasingly at risk from state violence, and she must decide if she’s willing to sacrifice everything in pursuit of justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Sim Kern’s masterpiece burns with righteous fury.
