In reminiscing about his early years on Minnesota's White Earth Reservation at the turn of the century, John Rogers reveals much about the life and customs of the Chippewas. He tells of food-gathering, fashioning bark canoes and wigwams, curing deerskin, playing games, and participating in sacred rituals. These customs were to be cast aside, however, when he was taken to a white school in an effort to assimilate him into white society. In the foreword to this new edition, Melissa L. Meyer places Rogers's memoirs within the story of the White Earth Reservation.

Red World and White: Memories of a Chippewa Boyhood, Vol. 126
Brett Paesel has written for Hip Mama and Brain, Child. She's smart, funny, and a wonderful writer to spend time with. I wish this book had been around when I was a new mom, because I felt a lot of the same sense of loss and bewilderment that Paesel describes, along with that same feeling of guilt at not being over the moon about my new baby and motherhood status.
The best thing about the book is that there's little back pedaling in effort to reassure readers that she loves her kids. It's always clear that she loves them, but she's pretty unapologetic about wanting to get away from them, and wondering what her life would be like if she hadn't had them.
I would recommend this to anyone who's already got kids, and anyone who's thinking about having them--male or female. I don't know that I would have wanted to read this while I was pregnant, though, because I was worried about enough as it was. Paesel's honesty about her unhappiness might have been too scary at a time when I didn't need any extra scaring.
