Reviews
"Tribal leaders want to learn from the experiences of other Native nations. This book provides that opportunity by sharing the stories and strategies of diverse Native communities in mobilizing transformative community change."--Jacqueline Johnson, Executive Director, National Congress of American Indians
"What is the future for American Indian communities--dependency and poverty, or self-reliance and sovereign, community-based government? This book is an invaluable guide to the paths that Native nations are taking toward self-sufficiency and cultural and political renewal. Students, community members, policy makers, and Native leaders need to read and evaluate the ideas set forth here."--Duane Champagne, author of Social Change and Cultural Continuity Among Native Nations
