Description

Within Native Nations: The Survival of Fourth World Peoples (2nd edition), Dr. Sharlotte Neely (Professor of Anthropology and Director, Native American Studies, Northern Kentucky University) has put together an impressive examination pertaining to the survival strategies employed by Indigenous Peoples, within the world's most advanced nations, in order to discern how Native Peoples have maintained their traditional culture, language, sacred lands, and identity. Herein nine anthropologists, one linguist, one historian, one geographer, and one political scientist focus on nine groups of Fourth World Peoples within twelve First World nations (the: Native North Americans, Aborigines, Native Hawaiians, Maori, Ainu, Natives of Taiwan, Sámi, Basques, and Bretons) and, for comparison, one Indigenous group in a Second World nation (the: Yanomami), and one in four Third World nations (the: San). All are compared and contrasted in regard to their strategies for survival.
