Thinking in Indian

A definitive collection from a leading architect of the Native traditional movement.Edited by Jos Barreiro, Thinking in Indian: A John Mohawk Reader offers an expansive analysis of indigenous existence in the 20th and 21st centuries. John Mohawk's intellectual rigor and gift for oratory helped shape a substantial current of Native activism, providing a genuinely indigenous lens on global events.Covering five key areas-Earth Spirit, Indigenous Economics, Nation and Governance, Native Rights, and Political Philosophy-these essays dissect themes of sovereignty, globalization, and treaty rights. Mohawk's work serves as a critical critique of the "e;consumptive dominant culture,"e; offering instead a path toward self-sufficiency and contemporary traditionalism. This reader is an indispensable resource for students of American Indian Studies, political science, and philosophy.
