More About the Author
Product Description
Synopsis
Vine Deloria gathers 11 essays on a variety of topics germane to the present and the future of American Indian policy. The editor's own piece is perhaps the broadest in range, discussing the evolution of federal policy-making. Other contributors deal with such subjects as Indian voting, cultural values versus the economic realities of reservation life, tribal government, the Supreme Court and Indian water rights, and the influence of the Bureau of Indian Affairs on Indian self-determination. While many of these topics have been addressed before, these essays bring an optimism and an agenda for the future thus far lacking in Indian historical literature.
