TODD TAMANEND CLARK NATIVE STUDIES BIBLIOGRAPHY
[Please Feel Free To Print This Out And Use It.]
ABSTRACT: This is a Native American Studies recommended
reading list consisting of two hundred books compiled
by Todd Tamanend Clark for use in home school, high
school, and/or college. If the resources herein are
read at the rate of one volume per week, the projected
time of completion would be four years of study, which
would then be only the basic beginning foundation for a
continuing process of lifelong learning. (Please note
that in addition to the very worthwhile pursuit of
scholarly academic knowledge, one also needs to regularly
and respectfully interact in person with various
indigenous cultures on both a sociological and spiritual
level in order to have a well-rounded understanding of
the actual application of this information. Serious
deprogramming of previously interiorized Eurocentric
propaganda from the current dominant colonial cultures of
the Western Hemisphere is also highly recommended.)
