G. K. Chesterton and the First Nations

What does the cross of Christ have to do with the thunderbird? How might the life and work of Christian writer G. K. Chesterton shed light on our understanding of North American Indigenous art and history? This unexpected connection forms the basis of these discerning reflections by art historian Matthew Milliner. In this volume in the Hansen Lectureship Series, Milliner appeals to Chesterton's life and work including The Everlasting Man, his neglected poetry, his love for his native England, and his own visits to America in order to understand and appreciate both Indigenous art and the complex, often tragic history of First Nations peoples, especially in the American Midwest
