Indian Country: Essays On Contemporary Native Culture is an anthology of essays by Gail Guthrie Valaskakis, a Chippewa by background and a founding member of the boards of Wasekun Healing Lodge, the Montreal Native Friendship Centre, the Native North American Studies Institute, and Manitou Community College. Offering a unique perspective on Native political struggles in both Canada and the United States, Indian Country discusses such topics as traditionalism and treaty rights in Lac du Flambeau, images of native women such as Sacajawea, what the pow wow contributes to "being Indian", and much more. Literate, well-researched, and matter-of-factly introducing the reader into how the American government, among other entities, regards Native Americans in modern times, Indian Country is a welcome contribution to contemporary Native studies shelves and recommended reading for individuals of all backgrounds striving to better understand the Native American experience.
