"This book is a valuable compendium of histories, findings, and recommendations on successful ways to improve Indian tribal governments and communities. It is especially valuable because it is written from the perspective of seasoned Native advocates and practitioners, whose lessons were acquired in battle and hard experience—the most precious kind."—Indigenous Peoples Issues and Resources
“Linking past and present yet pointing to the future, a beautiful tapestry is woven as this collection integrates complex historical, political, and cultural information with real-life examples to create multifaceted constructs from multiple voices.”—American Indian Quarterly
