Title: Johann Georg Kohl, Kitchi-Gami: Life Among ... Oji

Johann Georg Kohl, a German scholar -- we would now call him an ethnologist -- traveled among the Ojibawa of the Lake Superior region in the mid-1850s. He wrote a detailed set of his observations, not nearly so filled with deprecating comments about "savages" and "primative" people as his contemporaries.

I enjoyed it. Full title: Kitchi-Gami: Life Among the Lake Superior Ojibway. Republished by the Minnesota Historical Society, 1985.

The Minnesota Historical Society Press has had their own little publishing house, Borealis Books, keep this in print. You should be able to go to Amazon and find it without much trouble.
