Book
Creators
Edmo, Se-ah-dom
Description
"This single-volume book contends that reshaping the paradigm of American Indian identity, blood quantum, and racial distinctions can positively impact the future of the Indian community within America and America itself. -- Addresses legal and historical issues about Indian identity and multiple citizenships that have never before been covered in a text -- Sums up the issues, discussion, and proposed solutions to the questions surrounding Indian identity -- Sounds an awakening call to tribal leaders regarding the threat of extermination if they continue to rely on the paradigm of blood quantum instead of citizenship to define Indian identity -- Provides a voice that reaches out to and finds common cause with indigenous brothers and sisters in the world of former British colonies."
