"Over the past 200 years the orations of American Indian speakers have powerfully shaped the national consciousness, changed government policy, raised pride and determination among the many groups of native peoples, and countered stereotypes and complacency in the American public. Native North American Voices collects in a single source a wide range of these speeches, complete and excerpted, as they were delivered by Native American tribal leaders, activists, political figures, religious leaders and other prominent men and women from the late 18th century to the present. Entries are arranged alphabetically by speaker and contain:
Introductory material, providing a brief biography of the speaker and the speech's historical context
Informative sidebars that expand on topics mentioned within the entries
A "Sources" section, directing students to further readings
Voices also contains approximately 60 black-and-white photographs, a subject index, a listing of speeches by major topics and a timeline."--Amazon.
