How do Native Americans maintain their identity and culture in a
hostile society, and to what end? This book is a passionate attempt
by a leading Native American scholar to reassess the Indian world
view and its importance to all Americans. His deeply felt essays
project a vision of how Native Americans can recapture the power of
their cultural legacies. ""What we have witnessed over the last
five hundred years,"" states Rennard Strickland, ""is the
domination of an ideologically superior world view (that of the
Native Americans) by a technologically advanced but spiritually
bankrupt civilisation (that of the discoverers)."" He proposes a
reversal of this pattern, arguing that ""values must prevail over
technology,"" especially if people are to attain balance and peace
with themselves and their surroundings. He delineates the enduring
cultural heritage of Indians in essays on law, literature, history,
art, film, and culture.
