Book
The urban Indian experience in America / Donald L. Fixico.
"As the first ethnohistory of modern urban Indians, this perspective study looks at Indians from many tribes living in cities throughout the United States. Fixico has had unparalleled access to Native Americans, particularly their contemporary oral tradition. Through firsthand observations, interviews, and conventional historical sources, he has been able to assess the major impact urbanization has had on Indians and see how they have come to terms with both the negative and enriching aspects of living in cities." -- Publisher.
