About the Author

Rick Whaley and Walter Bresette, co-authors of the acclaimed novel Walleye Warriors, are dedicated advocates for Native American rights and environmental justice, drawing from their deep roots in the Great Lakes region. Whaley, a seasoned writer and activist, collaborates with Bresette, a renowned Ojibwe leader and fisherman whose life experiences infuse their work with authenticity and urgency. Their narrative explores the struggles of indigenous communities against corporate overreach and ecological degradation, blending personal stories with broader calls for sovereignty and sustainability. With a foreword by Winona LaDuke, a prominent environmentalist and indigenous rights champion, the book resonates as a powerful testament to resilience and resistance. Together, Whaley and Bresette's voices amplify the often-overlooked narratives of Native peoples, inspiring readers to engage with issues of land, water, and cultural preservation.
