[COPWAY, GEORGE] KAH-GE-GA-GAH-BOUH. THE AMERICAN INDIANS. In _The American Review._ June, 1849, pp. 631-637.
(Whole issue pp. 551-650. Plus 9 pp. index, plus frontis.) Wraps. 8vo. Fine. Copway (Kah-Ge-Ga-Gah-Bouh) was a Christianized Ojibwa born in 1818 in Canada. He wrote two books: an autobiography and a history of the Ojibwa. Here he presents his plan to create a large collective tribal nation in the Northwest. About Copway's plan Gerald Vizenor has written: "He was ahead of his time in understanding land problems and cultural conflicts, but he had no political constituencies to embrace his ideas. His mission was applauded but not enacted."
