Other Chapters Range From The Cherokees To Puebloan Peoples To Indians Of Chiapas, Mexico, In An Examination Of The Roles Of Both Indians And Nonindian Reformers In Marketing Native Arts And Crafts.These Articles Show That The Commercialization And Appropriation Of American Indian Cultures Have Been Persistent Practices Of American Society Over The Last Century And Constitute A Form Of Cultural Imperialism That Could Contribute To The Destruction Of American Indian Culture And Identity.
