He also tackles the complicated issue of identity and details recent efforts and successes in cultural preservation and language revitalization.A personal account from the states first female Indian lawyer, Margaret Treuer, tells her firsthand experience of much change in the community and looks ahead with renewed cultural strength and hope for the first people of Minnesota.
