Henry Rowe Schoolcraft was an American geographer, geologist, and ethnologist, noted for his early studies of Native American cultures, as well as for his 1832 expedition to the source of the Mississippi River.
Schoolcraft's insightful analysis and detailed descriptions offer a comprehensive view of the Iroquois people, making this book a must-read for those seeking a deeper understanding of Indigenous traditions and customs.
Originally issued by Michigan State University Press in 1958, Schoolcraft's Expedition to Lake Itasca contains a semi-official report of his 1832 trip to the upper Mississippi region.
Ojibwa Lodge Stories, which Schoolcraft later gave the subtile Muzzeniegun, an Ojibwa word meaning a printed document or book, contained articles, poems and announcements on all aspects of Native life and customs.
