Back cover copy

"Iverson and Davies have teamed up to update this pithy, yet comprehensive study of Native peoples in the US. It is a taut overview of the major issues, events, and personalities in and about Indian Country and will admirably fit the bill for anyone interested in what has transpired during the last century and a quarter." —David Wilkins, University of Minnesota The second edition of "We Are Still Here" builds on the success of the first edition to bring the rich and complex story of America's indigenous inhabitants into the opening decades of the new millennium. Updates include new photographs, a revised Bibliographical Essay, and more. This edition also features an entirely new chapter that hones its focus on American Indian history since the turn of the twenty-first century, addressing the current challenges faced by Native communities—including issues of tribal sovereignty and new strategies in the ongoing struggle for self-determination. As in the original edition, significant attention is once again focused on American Indian art, literature, film, music, and sports from a variety of perspectives. With its innovative approach that encompasses all sides of American Indian history—the triumphs as well as the tragedies—the second edition of "We Are Still Here" offers a concise and balanced portrayal of contemporary American Indian communities.
