Wiyáxayxt As days go by Wiyáakaaˀawn

The tribal perspective takes center stage in this narrative where tribal voices tell their own story. Personal histories of westward expansionism are not background but foreground.

Beginning with ancient teachings and traditions, moving to the period of first contact with Euro-Americans, the Treaty Council, war and the reservation period, and then to today’s modern tribal governance and the era of self-determination, readers will see continuity in the culture and in ways of life that have been present from the earliest times, all on the same landscape.
