To Remain an Indian: Lessons in Democracy from a Century of American Indian Education and
Uneven Ground: American Indian Sovereignty and Federal Law""
Voices of Resistance and Renewal is a welcome addition to the growing literature on American Indian educational leadership. It brilliantly demonstrates how Native leaders have used Indigenous epistemologies as a way of practicing tribal sovereignty and self-determination, and it pushes back against those colonial mindsets that all too often interpret Native history and studies within a Western frame of understanding."" - Matthew Sakiestewa Gilbert, author of
Education beyond the Mesas: Hopi Students at Sherman Institute, 1902 - 1929""
Voices of Resistance and Renewal describes leadership principles promoting Indigenous self-determination and educational sovereignty. The chapters, written by leading Indigenous and non-Indigenous educational scholars, document the need for culturally informed, community based educators who can build on Indigenous ways of thinking in order to decolonize Indigenous education and improve teaching and learning for students. Anyone interested in Indigenous educational leadership should read this book."" - Jon Allan Reyhner, editor of
