What in a name or place.


(3 stars)

I like this book except it's get name and place wrong. The "Chippewa" were only called that by the french and other whites because for some reason they could not pronounce Ojibwa the true name of the tribe. It is an insult to call a member of the Ojibwa, Chippewa. Also the majority of the Menomonie people live in Menomonie county which is also their reservation. Not Shawano county.
