About this Event
Join historian Bruce White as he discusses his new book They Would Not Be Moved: The Enduring Struggle of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe to Keep Their Reservation. Our discussion with Bruce White is the first of five programs for the North Star Voices Series.
An 1855 treaty set aside thousands of acres to be the permanent home of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, but in order for members to hold this land it required resolute actions and unwavering commitment. Bruce White will highlight how an Indigenous community repeatedly stood up for itself and won against overbearing pressures across decades.
This free event will include an author talk, Q&A session, and book signing. Books will also be available for purchase.
Support for this program has been provided by the Marney and Conley Brooks Fund.
