On June 27, 1868, Hole in the Day (Bagonegiizhig) the Younger left Crow Wing, Minnesota, for Washington, DC, to fight the planned removal of the Mississippi Ojibwe to a reservation at White Earth. Several miles from his home, the self-styled leader of all the Ojibwe was stopped by at least twelve Ojibwe men and fatally shot. Hole in the Day's death was national news, and rumors of its cause were many: personal jealousy, retribution for his claiming to be head chief of the Ojibwe, retaliation for the attacks he fomented in 1862, or retribution for his attempts to keep mixed-blood Ojibwe off the White Earth Reservation. Still later, investigators found evidence of a more disturbing plot involving some of his closest colleagues: the business elite at Crow Wing. While most historians concentrate on the Ojibwe relationship with whites to explain this story, Anton Treuer focuses on interactions with other tribes, the role of Ojibwe culture and tradition, and interviews with more than fifty elders to further explain the events leading up to the death of Hole in the Day. The Assassination of Hole in the Day is not only the biography of a powerful leader but an extraordinarily insightful analysis of a pivotal time in the history of the Ojibwe people. " An essential study of nineteenth-century Ojibwe leadership and an important contribution to the field of American Indian Studies by an author of extraordinary knowledge and talent. Treuer's work is infused with a powerful command over Ojibwe culture and linguistics." --Ned Blackhawk, author of Violence Over the Land: Indians and Empires in the Early American West Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

This book is such an impressive and complete documentation of the lives of Hole in the Day the Elder and the Younger. Franzoni (who wrote and produced “The Gladiator” and “Amistad”) will be making it into a major motion picture movie next year.
The book begins by telling about Hole in the Day, the father, and how he slowly came to power without having hereditary rights to do so. He was a charismatic speaker and a warrior. His death is concisely told. The next part of the book tells about how Hole in the Day the Younger quickly assumed his father’s role to help his people. The last part of the book, after his assassination, explains how difficult life became for those left behind — and why. It explains why the assassination was such a mystery for so long. Treuer pieces it all together for the reader.
