Description

In these lively and informative interviews| noted ethnohistorian and international consultant Joelle Rostkowski brings to light major developments in the Native American experience over the last thirty years. Overcoming hardships they have experienced as the forgotten minority| often torn between two cultures| these prominent native writers| artists| journalists| activists| lawyers| and museum administrators each have made remarkable contributions towards the transformation of old stereotypes| the fight against discrimination| and the sharing of their heritage with mainstream society.
Theirs is a story not so much of success but of resilience| of survivance| with each interview subject having marked their time and eventually becoming the change they wanted in the world. The conversations in this volume reveal that the assertion of ethnic identity does not lead to bitterness and isolation| but rather an enthusiasm and drive toward greater visibility and recognition that at the same time aims at a greater understanding between different cultures. “Conversations with Remarkable Native Americans” rewards the reader with a deeper understanding of the Native American Renaissance.”
