Recenzii
"Jim Northrup is the most insightful and humorous person on the Fond du Lac reservation in northern Minnesota. And Fond du Lac is to Northrup what Lake Wobegon is to Garrison Keillor or Yoknapatawpha County was to William Faulkner." —ForeWord Magazine
"To read Jim Northrup's Rez Salute: The Real Healer Dealer is to be reminded of what gets lost in this era of e-mails, tweets and texts: letters, the witty musings in the voices of your family and friends that record life stories and funny moments. Those are reflections that you can read again and again." —Indian Country Today
