Native People of Wisconsin: Revised and Expanded EditionExplore the stories and traditions of Wisconsin’s twelve Native Nations in this essential title from the Wisconsin Historical Society Press. Tailored especially for the upper elementary classroom, this newly revised and expanded edition of Native People of Wisconsin meets and exceeds the requirements of the Wisconsin American Indian Education Act (Act 31), providing exceptional and authentic teaching materials about Wisconsin’s tribal history.
Based on her research for her award-winning title for adults, “Indian Nations of Wisconsin: Histories of Endurance and Renewal,” author Patty Loew has geared this book specifically toward young readers. “Native People of Wisconsin”depicts the Native people’s incredible resilience despite rapid change and the impact of European arrivals on Native culture. Young readers will become familiar with the unique cultural traditions, tribal history, and life today for each nation.
Complete with maps, illustrations, and a detailed glossary of terms, this highly anticipated new edition includes two new chapters on the Brothertown Indian Nation and urban Indians, as well as updates on each tribe’s current history and new profiles of outstanding young people from every nation.
 An expanded Teacher’s Edition will also be available on CD in January 2016. “Native People of Wisconsin” is also available as an e-book.
