$4.95 THE EVERLASTING SKY NEW VOICES FROM THE PEOPLE NAMED THE CHIPPEWA by Gerald Vizenor In Gerald Vizenor’s thoughtful and provocative account of the Chippewa Indians of Minnesota, the oshki ani- shinabe (new people of the wood- land) speak about home and family, city and reservation, law enforcement and education. They tell of elders who are afraid of change, of young people who are out of touch with their past and drop out in the present, and of men and women who are asserting anishinabe identity and trying to re- claim their heritage. After readers share the anger and dreams and fears of these oshki ani- shinabe speakers, they wonder will what the words Indian and Chippewa really mean, and will reconsider them and the stereotypes they represent.
