PREFACEWe are pleased by the very positive response to the first edition of this reader by students, colleagues, and the Native American community. The changes and additions to the new edition, we believe, will generate an even greater appreciation for the uniquely Indian-based perspective and hemispheric approach that characterize this volume and that clearly differentiate it from the standard, introductory works on Native Americans in the disciplines of anthropology and history.The idea for this work grew out of the editors teaching an introductory level college course, The Indian Experience, for several years at the University of California at Davis in the late 1980s to the 1990s. This course and Introduction to Native American Studies were originally developed along with a dozen or so others in the late 1960s by Jack D. Forbes for the then new Native American Studies program at the University of California at Berkeley and at the University of California at Davis. Steve Talbot, a co-editor of this reader, was a member of the faculty in the new Native American studies program at the University of California-Berkeley from 1971 to 1974 and consequently helped to develop these introductory courses. The Indian Experience became one of the core courses for the programs at these two institutions.Other developing Native American Studies (or American Indian Studies) programs in colleges and universities during the 1970s created similar introductory courses. These included the University of Minnesota, Washington State University, Humboldt State University, the University of California at Irvine, the University of California at Los Angeles, Dartmouth, the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and the University of Arizona.The 1960s was the time of the "new Indian" movement and renewed activism signaled by the formation of the National Indian Youth Council, the American Indian Movement, and other Indian protest organizations, as well as by continued actions by the Iroquois and other traditional Indian peoples, the occupation of Alcatraz, the Trail of Broken Treaties to Washington, D.C., and Wounded Knee II and its aftermath of government repression. This was a time when urban-based Indians and their reservation counterparts joined forces under the guidance of traditional elders and religious leaders to press for treaty rights, sovereignty, and self-determination. It was also a time when hundreds of Indian young people were able to enter college under special admissions programs (affirmative action), receive financial aid, and bring the issues and demands of the larger Native American struggle to the university campus. The idea behind these introductory Native American studies classes was to bring the "Indian experience" into the classroom and thereby make the college curriculum relevant to the lives of the new population of Indian students on campus; they were also intended to correct misconceptions and stereotypes about Indian history, religion, and culture for the general student population and the larger society.The Indian Experience course substituted for the more mainstream Introduction to North American Indians course traditionally taught in anthropology. The paradigms for the two courses differ substantially; indeed, there are profound differences in the respective paradigms of Native American studies and anthropology. Yet, although there are many introductory North American Indian books in anthropology and history, there are very few in Native American studies and virtually none, especially a reader, that are suitable as an introduction to Native American studies for the college student and the general public with an interest in American Indians. There are, of course, some excellent atlases, almanacs, and edited works, including various compilations of Indian literature and poetry, but, again, nothing that approximates a Native American studies reader such as we have compiled here.
