Several miles from his home  the self-styled leader of all the Ojibwe was stopped by at least twelve Ojibwe men and fatally shot. Hole in the Days death was national news  and rumors of its cause were many: personal jealousy  retribution for his claiming to be head chief of the Ojibwe  retaliation for the attacks he fomented in 1862  or retribution for his attempts to keep mixed-blood Ojibwe off the White Earth Reservation. Still later  investigators found evidence of a more disturbing plot involving some of his closest colleagues: the business elite at Crow Wing. While most historians concentrate on the Ojibwe relationship with whites to explain this story  Anton Treuer focuses on interactions with other tribes  the role of Ojibwe culture and tradition  and interviews with more than fifty elders to further explain the events leading up to the death of Hole in the Day. The Assassination of Hole in the Day is not only the biography of a powerful leader but an extraordinarily insightful analysis of a pivotal time in the history of the Ojibwe people.   An essential study of nineteenth-century Ojibwe leadership and an important contribution to the field of American Indian Studies by an author of extraordinary knowledge and talent. Treuers work is infused with a powerful command over Ojibwe culture and linguistics. --Ned Blackhawk  author of Violence Over the Land: Indians and Empires in the Early American West Anton Treuer  professor of Ojibwe at Bemidji State University  is the author of Ojibwe in Minnesota and several books on the Ojibwe language. He is also the editor of Oshkaabewis Native Journal  the only academic journal of the Ojibwe language.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648101539893,"sku":"ByrdShop_0873517792","price":54.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780873517799.jpg?v=1781709482","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-assassination-of-hole-in-the-day-9780873517799","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
