Thinking in Indian: A John Mohawk Reader

A definitive collection from a leading architect of the Native traditional movement. Edited by Jos Barreiro, Thinking in Indian: A John Mohawk Reader offers an expansive analysis of indigenous existence in the 20th and 21st centuries. John Mohawk's intellectual rigor and gift for oratory helped shape a substantial current of Native activism, providing a genuinely indigenous lens on global events. Covering five key areas—Earth Spirit, Indigenous Economics, Nation and Governance, Native Rights, and Political Philosophy—these essays dissect themes of sovereignty, globalization, and treaty rights. Mohawk's work serves as a critical critique of the "consumptive dominant culture," offering instead a path toward self-sufficiency and contemporary traditionalism. This reader is an indispensable resource for students of American Indian Studies, political science, and philosophy.
