The Indian Card: Who Gets to Be Native in America by Carrie Lowry Schuettpelz
informative
reflective
slow-paced
4.5
Thanks to Macmillan Audio for the free copy of this book.
- THE INDIAN CARD is stuffed full of research, information, and deeply personal stories.
- I was familiar with the idea of blood quantum, but this book showed me all the nuances, loopholes, pitfalls, and contradictions that such a system gets stuck in.
- Lowry Schuettpelz gets deep into both what it means historically to be Native, and what it means in practice today.
