Description
Summary:Nation building is a broad movement toward sustainable community development, self-governance, and self-determination for tribal nations; inherent in this is a recognition that Indigenous peoples have sovereignty, agency, and political identities (Brayboy, Fann, Castagno, & Solyom, 2012). The stance of the editors and authors is to speak to Native Americans and to point out pathways that reinforce community connections for Native student experiences. The chapters in this book cover a variety of areas related to Native American student experiences with rich data, analyses, and recommendations. With great skill and quality the authors and editors present their conclusions about limited traditional higher education research on Native American students, and they do all of this in a way that honors their traditions.
