Trade Review
“Making Relatives of Them is a wonderful contribution, particularly so for centering Native kinship practices and politics.”—James Joseph Buss, author of Winning the West with Words: Language and Conquest in the Lower Great Lakes.
“Making Relatives of Them not only contributes to our understanding of how kinship was the organizational framework for Indigenous societies in the Great Lakes, but also shows how race impacted hundreds of years of social interaction, changing the way outsiders regarded people of Indigenous ancestry.”—Susan Sleeper-Smith, author of Indigenous Prosperity and American Conquest: Indian Women of the Ohio River Valley, 1690–1792
