Synopsis
The first settlers of the North American continent formed a multitude of societies and enjoyed exclusive occupation of over seven million square miles of land. Today their descendants are relegated to lands totaling less than 50,000 square miles. Native American Issues focuses on the contemporary political issues surrounding the confinement of native peoples to limited lands in the United States and Canada.
Also discussed is the status and powers of native governments and the health, wealth, and education of native peoples. Biographical sketches, a chronology of events, selected legislation, significant court cases, facts and figures, quotations, presidential proclamations, and lists of print and nonprint resources complete this extensive work.

Book Description
Contrary to popular belief, few benefits of their vast gambling enterprises ever make it into the hands of the majority of Native Americans. With a shocking 39.4 percent living below the poverty line and 22 percent going hungry or living on the edge of hunger, Native peoples on reservations are the poorest demographic group in the United States.
