The Complexities of American Indian Identity in the Twenty-First Century - Hardcover

by Sean M. Daley (Author), Christine Makosky Daley (Author), Ryan Goeckner (With)

Between 2011 and 2015, over 700 Native Americans from across the United States participated in Native 24/7, a mixed-methods study that delved into modern-day American Indian identities through semi-structured interviews with accompanying surveys. Using the perspectives, voices, and stories of these participants, Daley and Daley document how contemporary Native peoples feel, define, and contribute to the construction of Native identity on topics such as colonization, tribal enrollment, blood quantum, language, spirituality, family, and community.
