Books by Renya K. Ramirez

Focuses on the lives, activism, and intellectual contributions of Henry Cloud (1884-1950), a Ho-Chunk, and Elizabeth Bender Cloud (1887-1965), an Ojibwe, both of whom grew up amid settler colonialism that attempted to break their connection to Native land, treaty rights, and tribal identities.

Most Native Americans in the United States live in cities, where many find themselves caught in a bind, neither afforded the rights granted US citizens nor allowed access to the tribal programs and resources. This book investigates how urban Native Americans negotiate what the author argues is, in effect, a transnational existence.
