Summary:
"Drawing on data and stories from Native 24/7, a 5-year, 700-participant social investigation of Indigenous identity, the authors document what Native people believe characterizes, constitutes, and contributes to contemporary Native identities"-- Provided by publisher. "Between 2011 and 2015, over 700 Native Americans from across the United States participated in Native 24/7, a mixed-methods study that delved into modern-day American Indian identities through semi-structured interviews with accompanying surveys. Using the perspectives, voices, and stories of these participants, Daley and Daley document how contemporary Native peoples feel, define, and contribute to the construction of Native identity on topics such as colonization, tribal enrollment, blood quantum, language, spirituality, family, and community." -- Publisher's description
