Warrior Nation: A History of the Red Lake OjibweThe Red Lake Nation has a unique and deeply important history. Unlike every other reservation in Minnesota, Red Lake holds its land in common and, consequently, the tribe retains its entire reservation land base. The people of Red Lake developed the first modern indigenous democratic governance system in the United States, decades before any other tribe, but they also maintained their system of hereditary chiefs. The tribe never surrendered to state

The Red Lake Nation has a unique and deeply important history. Unlike every other reservation in Minnesota, Red Lake holds its land in common--and, consequently, the tribe retains its entire reservation land base. The people of Red Lake developed the first modern indigenous democratic governance system in the United States, decades before any other tribe, but they also maintained their system of hereditary chiefs. The tribe never surrendered to state jurisdiction over crimes committed on its reservation. The reservation is also home to the highest number of Ojibwe-speaking people in the state. Warrior Nation covers four centuries of the Red Lake Nation's forceful and assertive tenure on its land. Ojibwe historian and linguist Anton Treuer conducted oral histories with elders across the Red Lake reservation, learning the stories carried by the people. And the Red Lake band has, for the first time, made available its archival collections, including the personal papers of Peter Graves, the brilliant political strategist and tribal leader of the first half of the twentieth century, which tell a startling story about the negotiations over reservation boundaries. This fascinating history offers not only a chronicle of the Red Lake Nation but also a compelling perspective on a difficult piece of U.S. history.

Anton Treuer, professor of Ojibwe at Bemidji State University, is the author of Everything You Wanted to Know about Indians but Were Afraid to Ask and twelve other books on Ojibwe history and language.

Crime Syndicate is an addictive pleasure!
Format: Kindle
Alternate realities have always been my favorite science fiction staple, and Crime Syndicate is no ption. My favorite character is Atomica because of how easily she gets things done when everyone else overlooks her. I'll definitely read more stories from writer Andy Schmidt.

I really wanted to be hopeful about this.
Format: Kindle
First off, I’ve been a DC multiverse fan for a very long time. And the concept of Earth-3 was always a fun idea. I enjoyed so many of the characters over the years. This had so much potential. But some of the designs are so clunky, and there’s nowhere near as much characterization as their predecessors had. Power Ring is the only one that feels an improvement. But the rest just didn’t thrill me (Atomica being one of the few that wasn’t tedious). I know the writers always just can’t help themselves and have to rewrite the origins again and again. But the story could have been so much better.

Earth 3
Format: Paperback
I really enjoyed this reboot of the Crime Syndicate. It manages to feel new while still staying true to the existing stories. Never read anything by either creator, but I loved it. This should be an ongoing series.

Great new take on some of my favorite DC villains
Format: Paperback
I have been a huge fan of the Crime Syndicate concept for several years, ever since Grant Morrison revived them in 2000. While the group has been radically altered and retooled since then, to the point where no version of the group is exactly the same as the last one that showed, it's good to see any version of them get a series of their own and this latest iteration is a good one besides. My one real complaint is that it could have been a bit longer, particularly each member's origin segment. None the less, great series overall.
