The Gitche Gumee Diaries is the third in a trilogy of books dealing with the spiritual and political journey of a First American woman from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan who uncovers a decades-old environmental mystery surrounding the contamination of the largest of the Great Lakes, Lake Superior, which Henry Wadsworth Longfellow dubbed Gitche Gumee in his epic poem The Song of Hiawatha. The protagonist, Velvet LeBlanc, is an environmental activist who eventually is elected to Congress. The trilogy begins with her upbringing and the tragedies she faced running for and winning election to the U.S. Congress, where she plays a pivotal role in determining the next President of the United States in the hotly contested 2024 Presidential election. The second novel traces her political battle in Congress when she uncovers a major military scandal involving the dumping of radioactive waste into Lake Superior. This third novel traces her attempt to seek Congressional and Presidential support to remove the existential threat that the radioactive waste poses to the Lake and the price she pays for her persistence. It exposes her secret thoughts in her diary about her spiritually driven mission, the First American culture she seeks to protect, and the previously unknown tragedies and threats she faced as she seeks to protect her beloved Gitch Gumee.
