An eye-opening read...,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Native Voices: American Indian Identity and Resistance (Paperback)
...that should be required reading in all cultural diversity courses and beyond. This compilation covers Native politics, law, spirituality, and culture, by scholars influenced by the lifelong work of Vine Deloria, Jr. The legal section opens the reader's eyes to the truth of the broken treaties and Supreme Court decisions that have shaped the lives of Native people for two and a half centuries (a truth not covered in public schools today). The spiritual sections cover not only what was lost but what is still being misappropriated today. I've heard it asked "Who will take up the work of Deloria now that he is gone?" The scholars who contributed to this book seem ready, willing, and able to do just that!

INCREDIBLE,
By A Customer
This review is from: Native Voices: American Indian Identity and Resistance (Paperback)
A must have and must read for any scholar of Native American politics, law and culture. This book allows any scholar to understand the impact that Deloria has had on Native American Studies. David Wilkins' essay is precise and opens avenues of legal exploration that will have an effect on the rights of tribal nations.
