Description: "Duane Champagne, PhD (Professor of Sociology, UCLA) has complied, and elaborated upon years of scholarly and editorial work to be able to offer readers accessible and thought-provoking discussion on issues pertaining to Indigenous peoples. This book brings the complexities of Indigenous concerns out of the shadows that so unnecessarily define the margins of society in order to educate readers and, as such, spur on critically informed debate aimed at bettering the position of Indigenous--and by extension, as we are all inhabitants of Turtle Island--non-Indigenous, peoples within modern nation states."--
Notes: "The present book extends and diversifies positions and arguments given in the previously published book entitled Notes from the Center of Turtle Island. Both books have the same intent, to explore and suggest alternative interpretations for discussion among tribal community members, students, academics, and policy makers."--Preface.
