History is dependent on written records and the stories we share. Native American history has been shaped and misunderstood based on a series of cultural assumptions. That's according to David Treuer. Treuer is an Ojibwe author who is working to correct the largely misinterpreted understandings of Native American culture after the publication of the 1970s novel by Dee Brown, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, and other similar works.

You either love the North or you don’t. I love the North and always have. Since I was young I’ve been magnetized by it, compass-like. My inner needle points to where the roads end — and then beyond. I’ve paddled solo from my home, on the Leech Lake Reservation in Minnesota, 250 miles north to Rainy Lake. I’ve taken weeks-long canoe trips with my brother and my friends on the Berens and Bloodvein rivers, which flow from Ontario northwest into Lake Winnipeg.
