Unemployment, substance abuse, and school dropout rates are among the highest in the nation, and Native Americans face epidemic levels of diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. But despite it all, this is a time of unprecedented optimism." (U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT) This article explains that because of "a decades-long push for self-determination, recent improvements in education, and the success of new tribal businesses, more and more Native Americans are finding ways to 'walk two lives,' blending a return to traditional culture and values with successful careers."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
