This handbook provides an unbiased, in-depth assessment of the
struggles, successes, and status of Native Americans in what is now
the United States from the time of the first European settlers to
the present. Native American Issues: A Reference Handbook, Second
Edition explores the history, problems, and contemporary issues
faced by peoples of Native American heritage. From the Indian
Removal Act of 1830 to the "Twenty Points" platform advanced by the
American Indian Movement in the 1970s to the massive budget cuts of
the 1980s, readers will discover how the well-being of Native
Americans has been affected by federal and state policies.
Refocusing the first edition's underlying theme of sovereignty to
highlight issues related to community, this extensively updated
volume addresses the greatest single change in the condition of
Native Americans in the last decade—the proliferation of gambling
enterprises. Issues such as land claims, use of natural resources,
sacred sites, governments, and stereotyping are examined from the
perspective of strengthening community.
