Turtle Island: An Introduction to Indigenous Studies provides
students with unique snapshots into the lives and resiliency of
Indigenous peoples of the North American continent, commonly
referred to as Turtle Island by Native Americans and First Nations
peoples. The carefully selected articles provide readers a glimpse
into key historical events, survival strategies, and worldviews of
Indigenous peoples spanning the United States, Canada, Mexico, and
Central America. Over the course of six chapters, students read a
variety of texts that celebrate the vibrant lives of Indigenous
peoples and also highlight the survival tactics they've developed
to meet the significant and often detrimental challenges of
colonization. They learn about Indigenous peoples' conception of
self as seen through childhood memories and oral traditions. The
topics of oppression, colonialism, assimilation,
self-determination, resiliency, and Indigeneity are explored.
Readings about spirituality, health, language, and culture paint a
picture of enduring culture and values. The anthology closes with
chapters dedicated to the reassertion of rights by Indigenous
peoples, activism, and empowerment. With a distinct focus on the
lives of Indigenous peoples rather than a timeline of historic
events, Turtle Island is well suited for courses in Indigenous
studies and North American history.
