"Coyote warriors" are
the new generation of American Indian leaders who leave the
reservation to train as attorneys, scientists or other
professionals, then return home to help their tribes. Tribal
governments, under pressure to develop their natural resources, are
often taken advantage of by big businesses and even the federal
government. Author Paul VanDevelder highlights the experience of
Raymond Cross, a Mandan/Hidatsa attorney who fights for his
tribe’s rights.
