This collection from the editorials and perspectives from Indian Country Today featured since 2000 includes a wide range of topics, including the assertion that Indian sovereignty is a positive force in America across the board, that building of the nations through such means as tribal colleges and strategic communications is key, that tribal nations and American justice may be mutually exclusive may again may hold some hope, that tribal nations are vital parts of the body politic, and that the media still does not respect Indian sovereignty, culture, individuality or religion. Contributions also include case studies of Indian issues throughout the Americas, examinations of how the nations fit within globalization and terrorism, and analyses of environmental issues and the teachings of history. The collection closes with very moving notes of appreciation and remembrances. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
