As we look to the new millennium, our need to appreciate the worth of what Native cultures have to offer is paramount. Native America in the Twentieth Century: An Encyclopedia, which has been over six years in the making, provides valuable historical perspective in an accurate and factual manner. In addition this volume focuses on the significance of the Indians living in the Americas today and, in so doing, confirms that we remain a living, breathing, continually evolving culture that hardly deserves to be merely catalogued and placed on a museum shelf. - from the Foreword.
