Since the arrival of Spanish conquistadors in the fifteenth century, Native peoples have struggled to maintain their land, cultures, and ways of life. In We Will Always Be Here, contemporary tribal leaders, educators, and activists speak about their own experiences fighting for Indian identity, self-determination, cultural survival, and community development. This valuable collection portrays the lives of today's Southern Indians in their own words. Reflecting on such issues as poverty, education, racism, cultural preservation, and tribal sovereignty, the contributors to this volume offer a glimpse into the historical struggles of southern Native peoples, examine their present-day efforts, and share their hopes for the future. They also share examples of cultural practices that have either endured or been revitalized. In a country that still faces challenges to civil rights and misconceptions about Indian identity and tribal sovereignty, this timely book builds a deeper understanding of modern Native peoples within a region where they are often overlooked. 410 0$aOther southerners. 606 $aIndians of North America$zSouthern States$xSocial conditions 606 $aIndians of North America$zSouthern States$xHistory 606 $aIndians of North America 606 $aIndians of North America$xSocial conditions 607 $aSouthern States$xRace relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xHistory. 615 0$aIndians of North America. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xSocial conditions. 676 $a975.00497 702 $aBates$b Denise E. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465850303321 996 $aWe will always be here$92072487 997 $aUNINA
