<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Wilkinson recounts in colorful terms Native American tribal victories in major legal conflicts in contemporary America, such as the Indian land claims in Maine and other eastern states, the "salmon wars" of the Pacific Northwest, and the establishment of tribal casinos as a way of making inroads into poverty.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>For generations, Indian people suffered a grinding poverty and political and cultural suppression on the reservations. But tenacious and visionary tribal leaders refused to give in. They knew their rights and insisted that the treaties be honored. Against all odds, beginning shortly after World War II, they began to succeed. <em>Blood Struggle</em> explores how Indian tribes took their hard-earned sovereignty and put it to work for Indian peoples and the perpetuation of Indian culture. This is the story of wrongs righted and noble ideals upheld: the modern tribal sovereignty movement deserves to be spoken of in the same breath as the civil rights, environmental, and women's movements.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><em>Blood Struggle</em> is a surprisingly encouraging book about cultural revival and Native people making and taking power since World War II.--Rebecca Solnit "New York Times Book Review"<br><br>[Wilkinson is] a sympathetic and insightful authority...and a meticulous cultural scholar and author...<em>Blood Struggle</em> is certain to stimulate public discourse on this necessary subject.--John A.
