American Indian Identity: Citizenship, Membership, And Blood (Native America: Yesterday And Today)

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
