Over eighty writers are represented from nearly fifty nations, including such nationally known writers as Louise Erdrich, Linda Hogan, Leslie Silko, Lee Maracle, Janet Campbell Hale, and Luci Tapahonso; othersWilma Mankiller, Winona LaDuke, and Bea Medicinewho are known primarily for their contributions to tribal communities; and some who are published for the first time in this volume.
