The Indian Card: Who Gets to Be Native in America by Carrie Lowry Schuettpelz
informative
reflective
fast-paced
5.0
"The more I reseach history, interview thoughtful Native scholars, and contemplate my own story, the more I think about Native identity as, among other things, deeply relational. As professor and writer Jimmy Beason, a member of the Osage nation of Oklahoma, has said, Native identity 'is not so much who you claim; it's who claims you.'" p. 194
"Maybe lists are the only way we can most fully understand." p. 76
An excellent memoir and exploration of Native identity in the United States and the history and policies that affected, and are affecting, Tribes and individual American Indians and Alaska Natives to this day.
