Focusing on the particular histories, challenges, and dynamics of life in Native California--which are often very different from elsewhere in the United States--the book collects essays from writers across the state. It encompasses the perspectives of both elders and the rising generation, and the contributors include activists, academics, students, memoirists, and tribal leaders. The collection examines histories of resistance to colonialism in California, the reclaiming of cultures and languages, the connection of place and nature to wellness in tribal communities, efforts to overhaul the racist presentation of California Indians in classrooms and popular culture, and the meanings of solidarity in Native California. Unifying the book is an introduction by Terria Smith (Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians), editor of the renowned and long-running magazine \u003ci\u003eNews from Native California\u003c\/i\u003e. This book is an indispensable resource for California Indian readers, educators of all levels in California, and students in Native studies courses nationally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTerria Smith\u003c\/b\u003e is the editor of \u003ci\u003eNews from Native California\u003c\/i\u003e magazine and director of the Berkeley Roundhouse, Heyday's California Indian publishing program.
