2019 National Native American Hall of Fame Inductee

This stirring memoir is the story of Ada Deer, the first woman to serve as head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Deer begins, "I was born a Menominee Indian. That is who I was born and how I have lived." She proceeds to narrate the first eighty-three years of her life, which are characterized by her tireless campaigns to reverse the forced termination of the Menominee tribe and to ensure sovereignty and self-determination for all tribes.

Deer grew up in poverty on the Menominee Reservation in Wisconsin, but with the encouragement of her mother and teachers, she earned degrees in social work from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Columbia University. Armed with a first-rate education, an iron will, and a commitment to justice, she went from being a social worker in Minneapolis to leading the struggle for the restoration of the Menominees' tribal status and trust lands.

Having accomplished that goal, she moved on to teach American Indian Studies at UW-Madison, to hold a fellowship at Harvard, to work for the Native American Rights Fund, to run unsuccessfully for Congress, and to serve as Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Indian Affairs in the Clinton administration.

Now in her eighties, Deer remains as committed as ever to human rights, especially the rights of American Indians. A deeply personal story, written with humor and honesty, this book is a testimony to the ability of one individual to change the course of history through hard work, perseverance, and an unwavering commitment to social justice.

Soft Lining and Elegant Design
Color: White, Size: 3-Layer
This jewelry box offers great value and has a surprisingly high-quality appearance upon arrival. I think it would be an ideal size for someone with a small to medium-sized jewelry collection, providing ample space without being too bulky. The compartment layout seems very well-thought-out and functional for organizing a standard assortment of jewelry, including dedicated slots for rings, grids for earrings, and longer slots for necklaces, which should prevent tangling. The velvet or felt lining inside feels very soft, providing good protection for delicate jewelry pieces. Overall, I am impressed with this jewelry box and would definitely recommend it to others.

Very impressive jewelry box
Color: White, Size: 3-Layer, Color: White, Size: 3-Layer
The Global Ka three drawer jewelry box is very impressive. When I first opened the box my immediate reaction was “Oh, wow!” It’s really pretty. There is a glass lid and separate areas for rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces. I really like it and think it would make a great gift. Unfortunately, the jewelry box I received did have some quality control issues (several noticeable flaws on the front, as visible in the photos); otherwise, this would definitely be rated 5 stars. Though disappointing, the flaws do not affect the function of the jewelry box. I will still enjoy using it and consider it a good value for the money.

Elegant, sturdy, and perfectly organized. Great quality and looks beautiful on display
Color: White, Size: 3 layer
I absolutely love this jewelry box organizer! The quality is much better than I expected—sturdy, well-made, and looks very elegant. The drawers slide smoothly, and there’s plenty of space for rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets without everything getting tangled. I also love the clear top because it makes it easy to see what I have at a glance. It looks beautiful on my dresser and keeps everything neat and organized. Definitely worth the purchase and would make a great gift too!

Gorgeous and perfect for me 🌟
Color: Green, Size: 5 layer, Color: Green, Size: 5 layer
Well made and I love the look of it. My favorite feature is the window top to view my favorite everyday pieces. I got the 5 drawer and feel like it’s going to be perfect for my collection. The green color is beautiful, it’s a cooler toned green and not a super in your face color and pairs well with the gold accents
