 Oh, but Midget State professor Dr. Anton Troyer's latest book, Warrior Nation, A History of the Red Lake Ojibway, has won the 2016 Carolyn Bancroft History Prize. The award from the Denver Public Library, Western History and Genealogy Department recognizes books that make significant contribution to historical knowledge. Troyer used archives and interviews to bring together written and oral tradition about seven different Red Lake leaders over the span of 400. One of the reasons I think it's getting a lot of accolades and awards now is it really shows historians there's a different way to do it. You can have native people tell their own history and highlight native voices to shape the narrative. And you can also exhaust the archives. The book has also won the award of merit from the American Association for State and Local History and has been a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award and the Hog Nander Minnesota History Award. This is Troyer's 14th book. If you've enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland Public Television.
