From Canada to Chile, this book draws together for the first time the experiences and struggles of indigenous peoples of all the Americas, North and South. Phillip Wearne writes with passion and sensitivity, revealing the tragic story of colonialism, the vigorous efforts to maintain indigenous cultures in the face of aggressive policies of assimilation and, most importantly, the new movement uniting indigenous peoples across the continent." </I> <br>&#151<b>Julian Berger</b>, author of <I>Gaia Atlas of First Peoples</I> and secretary of the UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations <P><I>"</I>Return of the Indian <I>brings together for the first time the present condition of the forty million indigenous people of North, Central and South America. It is a long-needed work that shows the cultural diversity of the two continents as well as significant parallel historical courses." </I> <br>&#151<b>Dee Brown</b>, author of <I>Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee</I> <P><I>"A timely study of Latin America's indigenous peoples and the appalling problems of racism and land theft they still face, but which they are heroically resisting.
