Taiaiake Alfred, a leading Kanien'kehaka (Mohawk) scholar and activist, urges Native communities to return to their traditional political values to educate a new generation of leaders committed to preserving indigenous nationhood. Only a solid grounding in traditional values and the principles of consensus-based governance will enable Native communities to heal their present divisions, resist assimilation, and forge new relationships of respect and equality with the mainstream society. Familiar with Western as well as indigenous traditions of thought, the author presents a powerful critique of the intellectual framework that until now has structured not only relations between indigenous nations and the state, but the internal politics of colonized communities. Yet he does not condemn non-indigenous people; instead, he invites them to transcend historical prejudices and join in the struggle for justice, freedom, and peace. 970534 10 6 1999 Peace, Power, Righteousness: An Indigenous Manifesto total:14|5:3|4:5|3:4|2:2|1:0| 14 51 30 4 5 0 false false Sat Nov 08 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 14 12:56:38 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 14 15:44:53 -0800 2008 1 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun May 24 17:34:11 -0700 2009 Sun May 24 17:34:11 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Mar 31 16:53:50 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 31 19:23:06 -0700 2009 here.]]> 4 0 false false Wed Feb 11 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 15 16:35:30 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 11 20:12:52 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Fri Oct 23 14:07:08 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 14:07:08 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Sat Oct 24 05:24:45 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 21 17:09:28 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 21 17:09:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Sep 26 12:21:37 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 26 12:21:37 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 25 01:54:33 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 25 01:55:09 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Jul 02 13:47:15 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 02 13:47:18 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jul 01 23:58:05 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 01 23:58:05 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Jun 11 21:23:26 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 11 21:23:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat May 16 12:23:30 -0700 2009 Sat May 16 12:23:30 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Apr 04 11:11:04 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 04 11:11:04 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Mar 22 14:19:09 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 22 14:19:09 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Mar 16 17:36:21 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 16 17:36:21 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jan 22 20:20:33 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 22 20:20:33 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jan 02 19:39:43 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 02 19:39:45 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Fri Dec 05 21:20:24 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 05 21:20:58 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Mon Nov 24 13:45:35 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 30 00:14:44 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri Oct 24 14:07:48 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 24 14:07:52 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=985039
