Indian Country, L.A. by Joan Weibel-Orlando
Los Angeles is home to the largest concentration of urban Native Americans in the United States. An ethnographic study of the vibrant community, this book reveals a society that incorporates cherished tribal identities and strives constantly to recreate itself within the context of urban life. It proposes a dynamic model of community formation.
"Weibel-Orlando has written a fascinating study of the nation's largest urban Indian community.. An invaluable resource for anyone interested in contemporary Native Americans."-L. G. Moses, Choice "Indian Country, L.A. is a major contribution to the urban anthropology of this relatively unstudied ethnic terrain... An excellent book for specialists as well as students and scholars interested in community and ethnicity." - Joane Nagel, American Studies "A remarkably in-depth examination of the Los Angeles Indian community... Weibel-Orlando's analysis of roles and institutions is truly an excellent contribution to writing about American Indians." - C. Matthew Snipp,American Journal of Sociology "Indian Country, L.A. contains much of value to the historian... Weibel-Orlando's study should serve as a methodological model for conducting research among other urban Indian populations."-Steven C. Schulte, Western Library
