Donald Fixico, one of the foremost scholars on Native Americans,
details the day-to-day lives of these indigenous people in the 20th
century. As they moved from living among tribes in the early 1900s
to the cities of mainstream America after WWI and WWII, many Native
Americans grappled with being both Indian and American. Through the
decades they have learned to embrace a bi-cultural existence that
continues today. In fourteen chapters, Fixico highlights the
similarities and differences that have affected the generations
growing up in 20th-century America. Chapters include details of
daily life such as education; leisure activities & sports;
reservation life; spirituality, rituals & customs; health,
medicine & cures; urban life; women's roles & family;
bingos, casinos & gaming. Greenwood's Daily Life through
History series looks at the everyday lives of common people. This
book explores the lives of Native Americans and provides a basis
for further research. Black and white photographs, maps and charts
are interspersed throughout the text to assist readers. Reference
features include a timeline of historic events, sources for further
reading, glossary of terms, bibliography and index.
