Modern Tribal Development Paths to Self-Sufficiency and Cultural Integrity in Indian Country

First Nations people know that a tribe must have control over its resources and sustain its identity as a distinct civilization for economic development to make sense. With an integrated approach to tribal societies that defines development as a means to the end of sustaining tribal character, Dean Howard Smith offers both conceptual and practical tools for making self-determination and self-sufficiency a reality for Native American Nations.Smith draws from his extensive experience as a consultant, teacher, and instructor to offer a wide variety of detailed case studies, and readers will learn from both successful and failed development initiatives. While focused on the United States, his work will be applicable for indigenous peoples in many parts of the world.Smith, Dean Howard is the author of 'Modern Tribal Development Paths to Self-Sufficiency and Cultural Integrity in Indian Country' with ISBN 9780742504097 and ISBN 0742504093.
