The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
For over thirty years, Alvin J. Ziontz was a front-row participant in some of the major, most defining legal cases where Native American tribal rights were being argued—the historic 1974 Boldt decision among them. His memoir, A Lawyer in Indian Country (University of Washington Press), is a valuable recounting of that work and the people involved. "Ziontz's memoir draws us into the inner world of tribal and legal strategy that shaped one of the most important social movements of the twentieth century—the struggle of Native Americans to reclaim their resources and sovereignty. Lawyers, scholars, and activists can all learn from his revealing account of partnership between a developing Indian lawyer and his tribal clients." - Carole Goldberg. "As one who was born to and lived where Al Ziontz went—Indian Country—I am deeply grateful for this memoir. A Lawyer in Indian Country is the story of a gifted attorney on the frontlines of Native legal reform who also brought great conscience to his work. As a Southern Cheyenne, I value both immensely, but in the end it is his defining and transcendent empathy and humanity regarding Native America that matter to me most." - W. Richard West, Jr.
