{"product_id":"native-american-tribalism-indian-survivals-and-renewals-9780195084221","title":"Native American Tribalism: Indian Survivals and Renewals","description":"Contrary to the white man's early expectations, the Indian tribes of North America neither vanished nor assimilated. Despite almost four hundred years of contact with the dominant--and often domineering--Western civilization, Native Americans have maintained their cultural identity, the size, \u003cbr\u003esocial organization, and frequently the location of their population, and their unique position before the law. Now brought up to date with a new introduction by Peter Iverson, this classic book reviews the history of contact between whites and Indians, explaining how the aboriginal inhabitants of\u003cbr\u003eNorth America have managed to remain an ethnic and cultural enclave within American and Canadian society from colonial times to the present day.\u003cbr\u003e The late D'Arcy McNickle--renowned anthropologist and member of the Flathead Tribe of Montana--shows that while Native Americans have always been eager to adopt the knowledge and technology of white society, they carefully adapt these changes to fit into their own culture. He maintains that\u003cbr\u003eby emphasizing tribal self-determination, the federal government can best help Native Americans to modernize and achieve independence even as they preserve their ancient heritage. Iverson's introduction to the new edition discusses McNickle's singular contribution to Native American Studies, and\u003cbr\u003eprovides an overview of recent events and scholarship in the field. He has also brought up to date the appendix describing the geographical distribution of the principle tribes in the United States and Canada.\u003cbr\u003e With its comprehensive coverage and unique perspective, the new edition of \u003cem\u003eNative American Tribalism\u003c\/em\u003e is essential reading for those who want to understand the past and present of our first Americans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e D'Arcy McNickle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Institute of Race Relations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/19\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 5.54w x 0.57d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195084221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe late \u003cstrong\u003eD'Arcy McNickle\u003c\/strong\u003e was author of \u003cem\u003eWind from an Enemy Sky\u003c\/em\u003e (1988), \u003cem\u003eRunner in the Sun\u003c\/em\u003e (1987), and \u003cem\u003eThe Surrounded\u003c\/em\u003e (1978).
