Description

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 "consumptive dominant culture," 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.
