Author Description

"In Indian Country: Essays on Contemporary Native Culture, Gail Guthrie Valaskakis offers a unique perspective on Native political struggle and cultural conflict in both Canada and the United States. She reflects on treaty rights and traditionalism, media warriors, Indian princesses, pow wow, museums, art, and nationhood, untangling the past - personal, political, and cultural - to make sense of current struggles over power and identity that define the Native experience today."--Jacket.
