Our Way: A Parallel History is a collaborative text created by Native scholars representing over ten indigenous nations affiliated with various Institutions of Higher Education, along with other Native leaders. Our Way dispels the myth, stereotype, and absence of information about American Indian, Native Alaskan, and Native Hawaiian people in the master narrative of U.S. History. The book explores the ways in which indigenous cultures from every corner of the nation have influenced American society, through the past and into the present day.

Describes traditional Salish and Pend d'Oreille lifeways through the memories and stories of tribal elders such as Pete Beaverhead, Louise Lumprey, Paul Antoine, and Johnny Arlee. Includes extensive Salish language vocabulary to accompany the text.
