Klappentext

Now in its fouth edition, Native American Voices is a unique and comprehensive reader, amplifiying the voices and viewpoints of Native and Indigenous peoples. Multi-disciplinary and hemispheric in approach, it draws on ethnography, biography, journalism, art, and poetry to familiarize readers with the historical and present day experiences of Native and Indigenous peoples.

Starting from the idea that we are at a time in history when standing our ground and advancing Indigenous understandings is integral to our collective future, this volume centers Native resilience, experiences, knowledge systems, and the impacts of sociopolitial histories. Retainng some of the seminal pieces of prior editions and supplementing with brand-new works, the volume's key contents include:

Decolonizing Pathways

Land, Sovereignty, and Self-Determination

Historical Trauma and Structural Violence

Cultural Preservation and Revitalization

Health and Wellness from Indigenous Perspectives

Language, Art, and Performance

Relationality and Interconnectedness

By engaging with this volume, students will be able to describe how U.S. policies toward Indigenous peoples have evolved and how those policities continue to influence Indigenous peoples' ways of life. They will also be able to cite various contemporary Native issues, showing how these are rooted in external non-Indigenous values and policies. Additionally, students will understand that, despite shared values among Indigenous peoples, there is notable diversity among Native nations.

This book is an ideal primary text for introductory and advanced courses in Native and American Indian Studies. Additionally, the volume is sure to attract readers throughout the Native community, ranging from concerned citizens, community leaders and organizers, and anyone interested in making informed decisions on these issues.
