500    "... I [author Michael John Witgen] use the term 
       Anishinaabeg for the Great Lakes people also known as the 
       Odawaag, Ojibweg, and Boodewaadamiig even though these 
       same people most often are presented in historical sources
       as Ottawas, Chippewas, and Potawatomi and are written 
       about generically as Algonquian"--Author's Note on 
       terminology. 
500    Contains appendix: "Summaries of select treaties between 
       the United States and Indigenous nations in the Old 
       Northwest, 1795-1855." 
504    Includes bibliographical references and index. 
505 0  A nation of settlers -- Indigenous homelands and American 
       homesteads -- The civilizing mission, women's labor, and 
       the mixed-race families of the Old Northwest -- Justice 
       weighed in two scales -- Indigenous land and black lives: 
       the politics of exclusion and privilege in the Old 
       Northwest. 
520    "Against long odds, the Anishinaabeg resisted removal, 
       retaining thousands of acres of their homeland in what is 
       now Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Their success 
       rested partly on their roles as sellers of natural 
       resources and buyers of trade goods, which made them key 
       players in the political economy of plunder that drove 
       white settlement and U.S. development in the Old 
       Northwest. But, as Michael Witgen demonstrates, the credit
       for Native persistence rested with the Anishinaabeg 
       themselves. Outnumbering white settlers well into the 
       nineteenth century, they leveraged their political savvy 
       to advance a dual citizenship that enabled mixed-race 
       tribal members to lay claim to a place in U.S. civil 
       society. Telling the stories of mixed-race traders and 
       missionaries, tribal leaders and territorial governors, 
       Witgen challenges our assumptions about the inevitability 
       of U.S. expansion. Deeply researched and passionately 
       written, Seeing Red will command attention from readers 
       who are invested in the enduring issues of equality, 
       equity, and national belonging at its core"--|cProvided by
