"Charley Kawbawgam, the famous Ojibwa chief of Marquette, faced many struggles. Using unrivaled research, Tyler Tichelaar recounts his life like a feel-good action movie. The hero prevails, beats the mining company, conquers a blizzard, adopts small children, and makes great friends along the way. Tichelaar also explores the relationships between Native Americans in the Upper Peninsula and newly arriving colonists. He layers in key lessons about wars, treaties, payments, and the treatment of the Ojibwa. Charley Kawbawgam is a page-turner that will have young history lovers hiding beneath the covers with a flashlight, well past bedtime." -- Jennifer McGraw, Author of The Unsolved Mysteries of Father Marquette's Many Graves
"Tichelaar compacts the history of colonizing a region into one person's life. The storytelling approach he lends makes this complex tale digestible and interesting. While following the chronicles of Charley's life, readers of all backgrounds learn how Great Lakes Indigenous history is a part of our living present." -- Betsy V. Rutz, Museum Educator, Marquette Regional History Center
