The State of the Native Nations: Conditions Under U.S. Policies of Self-Determination

The State of the Native Nations: Conditions Under U.S. Policies of Self-Determination explores the political, economic, social, and cultural realities of contemporary Indian Country. This thematically organized examination of Native American life covers topics including tribal governance, natural resources, economic and social development, arts and culture, and urban populations. The work is a result of a collaboration through the Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development, a group of leading researchers, scholars, and practitioners who have undertaken the most comprehensive study of the contemporary conditions of Native Americans. Balancing real-world personal accounts and ethnographic findings with informed data and statistical analysis, this volume presents a multidisciplinary overview of the challenges confronting Indian nations.
