This essential reference work enables a deeper understanding of
contemporary challenges in the lives of American Indians and
Alaskan Natives today, carefully reviewing their unique problems
and proposing potential solutions. American Indians face problems
in their lives on a daily basis that most other Americans never
contend with, and their challenges-which in some cases are similar
to those of other minority groups in the United States-are still
qualitatively unique. American Indians at Risk gives readers a
broad overview of what life in Indian country is like, addressing
specific contemporary social issues such as alcoholism,
unemployment, and suicide. The author goes beyond detailed
descriptions of the problems of American Indians to also present
solutions, some of which have been effective in addressing these
challenges. Each chapter includes a "Further Investigations"
section that presents helpful ideas for additional research.

problems facing American Indians Documents the challenges of
