"The Lake Huron area of the Upper Great Lakes region, an area spreading across vast
parts of the United States and Canada, has been inhabited by the Anishnaabeg for millennia.
Since their first contact with Europeans around 1600, the Anishnaabeg have interacted
with -- and struggled against -- changing and shifting European empires and the emerging
nation-states that have replaced them. Through their cultural strength, diplomatic
acumen, and a remarkable knack for adapting to change, the Anishnaabeg of the Lake
Huron Borderlands have reemerged as a strong and vital people, fully in charge of
their destiny in the twenty-first century ; Winner of the North American Indian Prose
Award, this first comprehensive cross-border history of the Anishnaabeg provides an
engaging account of four hundred years of their life in the Lake Huron area, showing
how they have been affected by European contact and trade. Three Fires Unity examines
how shifting European politics and, later, the imposition of the Canada-United States
border running through their homeland, affected them and continues to do so today.
In looking at the cultural, social, and political aspects of this borderland contact,
Phil Bellfy sheds light on how the Anishnaabeg were able to survive and even thrive
over the centuries in this intensely contested region."--from pub. website
