Born in Wisconsin, Philip Bergin Gordon-whose Ojibwe name
Tibishkogijik is said to mean Looking into the Sky-became one of
the first Native Americans to be ordained as a Catholic priest in
the United States. Gordon's devotion to Catholicism was matched
only by his dedication to the protection of his people. A notable
Native rights activist, his bold efforts to expose poverty and
corruption on reservations and his reputation for agitation earned
him the nickname "Wisconsin's Fighting Priest." Drawing on
previously unexplored materials, Tadeusz Lewandowski paints a
portrait of a contentious life. Ojibwe, Activist, Priest examines
Gordon's efforts to abolish the Bureau of Indian Affairs, his
membership in the Society of American Indians, and his dismissal
from his Ojibwe parish and exile to a tiny community where he'd be
less likely to stir up controversy. Lewandowski illuminates a
significant chapter in the struggle for Native American rights
through the views and experiences of a key Native progressive.
