==Early life==
Gerald Vizenor was born to a mother who was Swedish American and a father who was Anishinaabe. When he was less than two years old, his father was murdered in a homicide that was never solved.〔Vizenor, ''Interior Landscapes'', pp. 28–32.〕 He was raised by his mother and paternal Anishinaabe grandmother, along with a succession of paternal uncles, in Minneapolis and on the White Earth Reservation. His mother's partner acted as his informal stepfather and primary caregiver. Following his death in 1950, Vizenor lied about his age and at 15 entered the Minnesota National Guard.
Honorably discharged before his unit went to Korea, Vizenor joined the army two years later. He served with occupation forces in Japan, as that nation was still struggling to recover from the vast destruction of the nuclear attacks that ended World War II. During this period, he began to learn about the Japanese poetic form of haiku. Later he wrote ''Hiroshima Bugi'' (2004), what he called his "kabuki novel."
Returning to the United States in 1953, Vizenor took advantage of G.I. Bill funding to complete his undergraduate degree at New York University. He followed this with postgraduate study at Harvard University and the University of Minnesota, where he also undertook graduate teaching. After returning to Minnesota, he married and had a son.
