Description: This illuminating and comprehensive analysis of Native nations' resilience in the twentieth century demonstrates how Native Americans reinvented themselves, rebuilt their nations, and ultimately became major forces in the United States.

Review Quotes: "Despite lingering problems on Indian reservations, many tribes are showing strength and resilience as they rebuild their homelands and cultures. Author Donald Fixico is not only a scholar of the past but a visionary of the future."--Southwest Books of the Year
"Indian Resilience and Rebuilding is a significant contribution to the small but growing literature on the reconstruction of Native Nations in the 20th century. Most of these focus narrowly on a specific Nation or on a single aspect of the rebuilding process such as education or economics. This study, however, provides a broader context within which to explore the process and outcome, and this wider view takes the reader across Indian Country." --Kathleen P. Chamberlain, author of Victorio: Apache Warrior and Chief
