Description: The chapters in this volume explore the implications of urbanization on the production of distinctive Indigenous identities in Canada, the United States, New Zealand, and Australia. Instead of viewing urban experiences in terms of assimiliation and social and cultural disruption, this book demonstrates the resilience, creativity, and complexity of the urban indigenous presence, both in Canada and internationally. -- Book Jacket.
