The seventh edition has been revised to incorporate feedback from specialized diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) reviewers. Coverage and examples throughout the book have been updated to ensure that a rich variety of Native perspectives are represented.
Six new documents, including four by Native authors, provide fresh perspectives. The new documents include testimony from reformer Susette La Flesche against unjust policies toward Native peoples; an article by former Cherokee chief Wilma Mankiller about the need for education reform; and an editorial by acclaimed author Louise Erdrich drawing attention to violence against Indigenous women.
A revised and reorganized Chapter 10 places recent events in historical context. The revised chapter includes new coverage of Native nations’ response to the COVID-19 pandemic; the ongoing crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women; President Biden’s policies toward Native peoples; and renewed attention to continuing threats to tribal lands and sovereignty.
