A Nation of Settlers: American Colonization of the Old Northwest

Michael is a member of the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe. His current research examines the intersection of race, national identity, and state making in the Old Northwest. His essay “Seeing Red: Race, Citizenship, and Indigeneity in the Old Northwest,” was awarded the Ralph D.
