Description: "The Place of the Pike is a unique history of an Indian community told from their own perspective. Drawn from oral accounts of tribal elders, with support from archival data, it is cast not in terms of federal Indian policy, academic theories, or national economic trends - the perspective of the nonnative West - but in the life struggles of the people's own tribal heroes.

As is traditional to the Ojibwe, the history is woven around both stories and images; over 130 illustrations bring alive the chronological account of the Bay Mills community from the early seventeenth century to the end of the twentieth." "The Place of the Pike will fascinate and inform anyone with an interest in Native American and Great Lakes history."--BOOK JACKET.
