Jon Hickey, a Native American author wrote his debut novel called Big Chief. A young law school graduate named Mitch Caddo. He is an aspiring political fixer returning to the land of his Anishinaabe ancestors. He is helping a childhood friend, Mack Beck, the tribal chief of the Passage Rouge nation in northern Wisconsin. He is also the chief of the Golden Eagle Casino and hotel. He is up for reelection and an activist named Gloria Hawkins may well beat him. On the eve of the election violence breaks out. Mitch's mentor and father figure dies in a plane crash. The very interesting story is about power, corruption, family ties and a search for belonging.
