The Story of Max Gross-Lewis

The story's writer had never met a native tribal chief before, nor has he since. In the life of his family, who were both hippies and Quakers, native people were also symbolically charged. Some of the writer's Midwestern relatives liked to claim a small portion of their lineage as native. The Huron-Wendat chief was elected and served as the tribal chief in three separate periods across five decades.
