Description
"Through narration and sociological analyses, Jacobs offers the reader fascinating recounts of both Indigenous memories and urban realities for Native people living in Northeast Ohio. The American Indian population there has been shaped and reshaped-initially eradicated by white settlers, then revitalized by federal Indian relocation programs and Red Power Native rights activism, objectified by Major League Baseball, and challenged by COVID-19 pandemic. The voices in Jacobs' accessible and informative book speak to the importance of ancestry, spirituality, homelands, powwows, and organizations in contemporary Indigenous America which she shows in all of its complexity, contradictions, and community." * Joane Nagel, author of Gender and Climate Change: Impacts, Science, Policy *
