Description

This visionary manifesto, first published in 1999, has significantly improved our understanding of First Nations’ issues. Taiaiake Alfred calls for the indigenous peoples of North The usa to move beyond their 500-year history of pain, loss, and colonization, and move forward to the reality of self-determination. A leading Kanien’kehaka scholar and activist with intimate knowledge of both Native and Western traditions of thought, Alfred is uniquely placed to write this inspiring book. His account of the history and future of the indigenous peoples of North The usa is at once a bold and forceful critique of Indigenous leaders and politics, and a sensitive reflection at the traumas of colonization that shape our existence.

This new edition of Alfred’s important manifesto is thoroughly up to date in the context of current issues related to government policy and First Nations politics these days. Along with new examples of indigenous-state relations, it includes the contemporary court cases and up to date evaluations of key negotiations over land and self-government. A new preface contains an original, prior to now unpublished dialogue with the influential Dakota creator, historian, and activist Vine Deloria Jr, recorded in a while before his death in 2005.
