The Traditional History and Characteristic Sketches of the Ojibway Nation (1850) was one of the first books of Indigenous history written by an Indigenous author. The book blends nature writing and narrative to describe the language, religious beliefs, stories, land, work, and play of the Ojibway people. Shelley Hulan's afterword considers Copway's rhetorical strategies in framing a narrative--she considers it a form of "history, interrupted"--for a non-Indigenous readership.

Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. Book. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. xii, 298pp., ill. Facsimile of 1850 original. "Copway's finest book, is in many ways a summation of his lectures. Written primarily for a non-native audience, Copway viewed the bookas an attempt to 'awaken a deeper feeling' toward the people of the First Nations. Much more than a history, the work is an exploration of Ojibway culture through which Copway had sought to induce the British and American governments to greater efforts in improving their relationship with Native North Americans."
