The Southeastern Indian people found their voices in this work. They are alive and wellstill on their land!Hiram F. Gregory, coauthor of The Historic Indian Tribes of Louisiana: From 1542 to the PresentThis collection fills a major void in our understanding of recent southern history by offering a wideranging selection of southern Indians a chance to speak for themselves, unfiltered, as they strike at the heart of identity: Indian identity, southern identity, and, ultimately, American identity.Greg OBrien, editor of Preremoval Choctaw History: Exploring New PathsThe history of Native Americans in the U.S. South is a turbulent one, rife with conflict and inequality. Since the arrival of Spanish conquistadors in the fifteenth century, Native peoples have struggled to maintain their land, cultures, and ways of life. In We Will Always Be Here, contemporary tribal leaders, educators, and activists speak about their own experiences fighting for Indian identity, selfdetermination, cultural survival, and community development. This valuable collection portrays the lives of todays Southern Indians in their own words.Reflecting on such issues as poverty, education, racism, cultural preservation, and tribal sovereignty, the contributors to this volume offer a glimpse into the historical struggles of southern Native peoples, examine their presentday efforts, and share their hopes for the future. They also share examples of cultural practices that have either endured or been revitalized. In a country that still faces challenges to civil rights and misconceptions about Indian identity and tribal sovereignty, this timely book builds a deeper understanding of modern Native peoples within a region where they are often overlooked.Contributors: Nanette Sconiers Pupalaikis Stan Cartwright Patricia Easterwood Wanda Light Tully Framon Weaver Nancy Wright Carnley Otha Martin Marie Martin Pauline Martin Nathan Martin Karla Martin Kaci Martin Marvin T.
