In these interviews, contextualized in a national and international sociopolitical perspective, the editor, a noted ethnohistorian brings to light major developments in the Native American experience over the last thirty years. Overcoming hardships they have experienced as a forgotten minority, often torn between two cultures, these native writers, artists, journalists, activists, lawyers, and museum administrators have each made contributions toward the transformation of old stereotypes, the fight against discrimination, and the sharing of their heritage with mainstream society. Theirs is a story not so much of success but of resilience, of survivance, with each interview subject having marked their time and eventually becoming the change they wanted in the world. The conversations in this volume reveal that the assertion of ethnic identity does not lead to bitterness and isolation, but rather an enthusiasm and drive toward greater visibility and recognition that at the same time aims at a greater understanding between different cultures. This collection brings forth an understanding of the Native American Renaissance. 000455351 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000455351 650_0 $$aIndians of North America$$vBiography. 000455351 650_0 $$aIndians of North America$$xCivil rights. 000455351 650_0 $$aIndians of North America$$xGovernment relations. 000455351 650_0 $$aIndians of North America$$xEthnic identity. 000455351 650_0 $$aIndians of North America$$xIntellectual life. 000455351 7001_ $$aRostkowski, Joëlle. 000455351 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tConversations with remarkable Native Americans.$$dAlbany : State University of New York Press, c2012$$z9781438441757$$w(DLC) 2011019510$$w(OCoLC)727047846 000455351 830_0 $$aNative traces. 000455351 8520_ $$bacq 000455351 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000455351 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3407030$$zOnline Access 000455351 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:455351$$pGLOBAL_SET 000455351 980__ $$aEBOOK 000455351 980__ $$aBIB 000455351 982__ $$aEbook 000455351 983__ $$aOnline
