"Our People, Our Journey is a landmark history of the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians, a Michigan tribe that has survived to the present day despite the expansionist and assimilationist policies that nearly robbed it of an identity in the late nineteenth century. In his thoroughly researched chronicle, McClurken documents in words and images every major lineage and family of the Little River Ottawas. He describes the Band's struggles to find land to call its own over several centuries, including the hardships that began with European exploration of what is now the upper Midwest. Although the Little River Ottawas were successful at integrating their economic and cultural practices with those of Europeans, they were forced to cede land in the face of American settlements. McClurken explains how the Little River Band was forced, in 1858, onto a reservation on the Pere Marquette and Manistee Rivers where they settled with a number of other Ottawa bands. However, the very treaty intended to provide the Grand River Ottawas with a permanent reservation "homeland" eventually allowed non-Indians to acquire title to nearly two-thirds of the land within the reservation by 1880.".…

James McClurken has worked closely with the Little River Band over the past thirty years to produce this important work, which presents at last the sobering story of a tribe whose history is emblematic of the treatment of many American Indian tribes. In his thoroughly researched chronicle, McClurken documents in words and images every major lineage and family of the Little River Ottawas. He describes the Band's struggles to find land of their own over several centuries, including the hardships that began with European exploration of what is now the upper Midwest. Though the Little River Ottawas were successful at integrating their economic and cultural practices with those of the Europeans, they were forced to cede land in the face of American settlements. McClurken explains how in 1858 the Little River Band was forced onto a reservation on the Pere Marquette and Manistee Rivers, where they settled with a number of other Ottawa bands. However, the very treaty intended to provide the Grand River Ottawa with a permanent reservation "homeland" eventually allowed non~Indians to acquire title to nearly two~thirds of the land within the reservation by 1880. In fact, according to the tribe, between 1872 and 1888, only sixty~four Grand River Ottawas had received patents to homesteads, representing only 6 percent of the 111,793 acres within the boundaries of the reservation. Written in close collaboration with members of the Little River Ottawa, Our People, Our Journey provides a valuable new resource that will interest all readers who want to be better informed about the history of American Indian tribes.…
