Despite being from the 80s, this volume holds up remarkably well. New work on Kenekuk is definitely needed, but whoever pursues it will be standing on Herring's shoulders. The book describes in excellent detail how Kenekuk peacefully contends to preserve Kickapoo culture in the face of overwhelming odds (US empire) through unexpected means (religion) with unanticipated allies (Catholics, Will Clark, etc).
