Blood Quantum and the Future of the Native Nations

2017 INDIES Finalist
Finalist, Social Sciences (Adult Nonfiction)

Today, many Native nations wrestle with the legacy of blood quantum and “Indian” identity, as they work to manage tribal enrollment and social services. As bloodlines grow increasingly diluted, within a few generation, recognized tribes might legally disappear. Indigenous authors and artists explore the biological and cultural metaphor of blood quantum, the most critical issue facing Indigenous populations in the twenty-first century.
