the varied cultural, political, social, and economic dimensions of
contemporary Native America and will be prompted to consider the
complexity and complications of ethnic and cultural diversity in
the United States. Where do you stand on the issue of sports teams
named after Native Americans? Are tribal claims on ancestral
remains and sacred objects in museums valid? The contemporary
issues that Native Americans struggle with are critical concerns
for all Americans. This volume presents six major issues that have
been divisive in and out of the Native American community. Readers
will learn about the varied cultural, political, social, and
economic dimensions of contemporary Native America and will be
prompted to consider the complexity and complications of ethnic and

very foundations of the United States and the rights of its
original inhabitants' descendants. The range of issues encompasses
Native Americans throughout the country, from the Mashpee
Wampanoags of Massachusetts to Pacific Northwest tribes. This book

newspaper op-eds, Supreme Court rulings, and more. A resource guide
