"A landmark publication. Any person interested in Native Nations
law and policy will want to have this book. It will become the
basic deskbook that every leader will turn to for guidance,
inspiration, and the hard empirical facts they need for thinking
about nation building."--Robert A. Williams, author of The American
Indian in Western Legal Thought "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
