Contemporary Native American cultural issues

the long version

Moving into the 21st century, Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian communities remain culturally vibrant and deeply engaged in struggles for survival on many fronts. Editor Duane Champagne has assembled a volume of top scholarship from which emerge the complexity and diversity of Native American life. Each topical section is introduced by the editor's own commentaries, which provide background and integrated analyses of the issues at hand. These are followed by informative and critical studies, many drawn from the American Indian Culture and Research Journal, which offer grounded experiences and perspectives from a variety of Native American cultural settings.
