Description

Turtle Island: An Introduction to Indigenous Studies provides students with unique snapshots into the lives and resiliency of Indigenous peoples of the North American continent, commonly referred to as Turtle Island by Native Americans and First Nations peoples. The carefully selected articles provide readers a glimpse into key historical events, survival strategies, and worldviews of Indigenous peoples spanning the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Central America. Over the course of six chapters, students read a variety of texts that celebrate the vibrant lives of Indigenous peoples and also highlight the survival tactics they’ve developed to meet the significant and often detrimental challenges of colonization. They learn about Indigenous peoples’ conception of self as seen through childhood memories and oral traditions. The topics of oppression, colonialism, assimilation, self-determination, resiliency, and Indigeneity are explored. Readings about spirituality, health, language, and culture paint a picture of enduring culture and values. The anthology closes with chapters dedicated to the reassertion of rights by Indigenous peoples, activism, and empowerment. With a distinct focus on the lives of Indigenous peoples rather than a timeline of historic events, Turtle Island is well suited for courses in Indigenous studies and North American history. Nicky Michael is a Tribal Councilmember of the Delaware Tribe of Indians and an assistant professor in the Department of Indigenous Studies at Bemidji State University. She holds a Ph.D. in history from the University of Oklahoma, a M.A. in history from Oklahoma State University, and a B.A. from Stanford University, where she serves on the Stanford Native Alumni Board. Dr. Michael is the founder and chairs the board of the Lenapeowsi Foundation, a 501(c)3 that offers language and culture education, as well as humanitarian support, to Indigenous children. She also supports tribal governance and provides community support through Nicky Kay Michael Consulting, LLC, which provides grant writing, fundraising, and communications services for government organizations and companies, including rural schools and hospitals, national health and wellness organizations, tribal colleges, tribal nations, and city governments. More importantly, Dr. Michael is a mother and community member who participates in Lenape language and culture, shell shakes, and ceremonies, as well as Fancy Shawl dances.
