Abstract

In the forethoughts to Up from These Hills: Memories of a Cherokee Boyhood Lambert and Lambert (2011) call for the silent Indian majority to “become visible and reclaim for themselves what it means to be Indian… to forever distance Indian identity from the stock markets that are so often identified by non-Indians as Indian. And non-Indians need to completely relearn how to see Indians” (p. xxviii). I heed this call and join my voice with others who call for the re-contextualization and contemporizing of American Indian students and communities.
