Native Bookshelf: Where Wolves Don’t Die by Anton Treuer

As an Ojibwe language teacher and expert on Native American history and issues, Anton Treuer has penned more than a dozen books that are required reading for some Native studies college courses.

But Treuer turns to fiction in his newest work, Where Wolves Don’t Die. His first novel is for young readers and focuses on Ezra, an Ojibwe teen living in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

A serious crime prompts his family to move him to live with his grandfather on the Nigigoonsiminikaaning First Nation, across the border in Canada. There he encounters new insights into his family and culture as he navigates the consequences of circumstances beyond his control.
