Notes
Abstract: According to Cevaal-Moore, often the American Indian is seen and not heard while the “urban Indian” is invisible and voiceless. The stereotype of the American Indian is deeply embedded in phenotypic appearance; federal, tribal and state guidelines; and cultural conceptions of the reservation Indian, although, more than two-thirds of the Indian population live in urban settings and have since the early twentieth century. This work seeks to broadcast the voice of the urban Indian and give understanding to the wider community that indigenous people are not extinct. This research shows how they connect with their indigenous heritage and navigate the urban environment.
