In A Third Way, Hillary Hoffmann and Monte Mills detail the history, context, and future of the ongoing legal fight to protect indigenous cultures. At the federal level, this fight is shaped by the assumptions that led to current federal cultural protection laws, which many tribes and their allies are now reframing to better meet their cultural and sovereign priorities. At the state level, centuries of antipathy toward tribes are beginning to give way to collaborative and cooperative efforts that better reflect indigenous interests. Most critically, tribes themselves are building laws and legal structures that reflect and invigorate their own cultural values. Taken together, and evidenced by the recent worldwide support for indigenous cultural movements, events of the last decade signal a new era for indigenous cultural protection. This important work should be read by anyone interested in the legal reforms that will guide progress toward that future.

'I couldn't put this down. A Third Way is a refreshing, powerful, and inspirational work because Hoffmann and Mills acknowledge tribal agency. Indians and tribes are not passive observers to federal, state, and business interests carving up America. They are active policy makers, not mere stakeholders seeking a voice, not mere victims lamenting the past. Indians and tribes tend to see the universe in terms of balance, not the zero-sum competition that dominates American politics. We should all hope Indians and tribes succeed because this philosophy is all about our collective futures.' Matthew L.M. Fletcher, Director of the Indigenous Law & Policy Center, Michigan State University
