While Native Americans are perhaps the most studied people in our
society, they too often remain the least understood and visible.
Fictions and stereotypes predominate, obscuring substantive and
fascinating facts about Native societies. The Extraordinary Book of
Native American Lists works to remedy this problem by compiling
fun, unique, and significant facts about Native groups into one
volume, complete with references to additional online and print
resources. In this volume, readers can learn about Native figures
from a diverse range of cultures and professions, including
award-winning athletes, authors, filmmakers, musicians, and
environmentalists. Readers are introduced to Native U.S. senators,
Medal of Freedom winners, Medal of Honor recipients, Major League
baseball players, and U.S. Olympians, as well as a U.S. vice
president, a NASA astronaut, a National Book Award recipient, and a
Pulitzer Prize winner. Other categories found in this book are:
History Stereotypes and Myths Tribal Government Federal-Tribal
Relations State-Tribal Relations Native Lands and Environmental
Issues Health Religion Economic Development Military Service and
War Education Native Languages Science and Technology Food Visual
Arts Literary and Performing Arts Film Music and Dance Print,
Radio, and Television Sports and Games Exhibitions, Pageants, and
Shows Alaska Natives Native Hawaiians Urban Indians Including
further fascinating facts, this wonderful resource will be a great
addition not only to tribal libraries but to public and academic
libraries, individuals, and scholars as well.
