After five centuries of Eurocentrism, many people have little idea that Indigenous tribes still exist, or which traditions belong to what tribes. America's Indigenous peoples have been effectively stereotyped through different forms of media as spiritual gurus, pagan savages, Indigenous princesses, or pitiful burdens of society. Over the past decade however, there has been a rising movement to accurately describe Indigenous cultures and histories. In particular, writers have begun to explore the experience of urban Indigenous Peoples -- individuals who live in two worlds, struggling to preserve traditional Indigenous values within the context of an ever-changing modern society. This collection of essays records the determination of people from over twenty-five different nations to bring the Indigenous Peoples' experience into the 21st century.
