Following two centuries of broken treaties and virtual government extermination of the \"savage redmen,\" Americans today have recast Native Americans into another, equally stereotyped role, that of eternal victims, politically powerless and weakened by poverty and alcoholism, yet whose spiritual ties with the natural world form our last, best hope of salvaging our natural environment and ennobling our souls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe truth, however, is neither as grim , nor as blindly idealistic, as many would expect. The fact is that a virtual revolution is underway in Indian Country, an upheaval of epic proportions. For the first time in generations, Indians are shaping their own destinies, largely beyond the control of whites, reinventing Indian education and justice, exploiting the principle of tribal sovereignty in ways that empower tribal governments far beyond most American's imaginations. While new found power has enriched tribal life and prospects, and has made Native Americans fuller participants in the American dream, it has brought tribal governments into direct conflict with local economics and the federal government.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on three years of research on the Native American reservations, and written without a hidden conservative bias or politically correct agenda, \u003ci\u003eKilling the White Man's Indian\u003c\/i\u003e takes on Native American politics and policies today in all their contradictory--and controversial-guises.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780385420365\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.0 x 5.2 x 0.9 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANCHOR BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50145483129136,"sku":"Trans_9780385420365","price":1163.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/81QmNNQRbqL.jpg?v=1757936498","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/killing-the-white-mans-indian-reinventing-native-americans-at-the-end-of-the-twentieth-century","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
