Greaves describes the unprecedented political and economic victories of North American indigenous groups in recent decades. He analyzes six cases in the U.S. and Canada: the James Bay Cree vs. HydroQuebec; the Lummis water rights and sovereignty; the mid-Columbia Tribes, Kennewick Man and the passage of NAGPRA; the Innu, Nunavut, and Canada's newest territory in the polar north; and the gamble on Indian casinos. The book will be basic reading for anthropologists, Indian leaders and advocates, NGOS and activist organizations, and students in anthropology, ethnic & minority politics, social movements, American history, Native American studies, and ethnic studies.
