[review] "What a treasure this volume is! With so much flag-related literature in print, it is rare that a whole new area can be discovered and presented -- especially one of such importance. It is also gratifying, in an age when "pretty pictures" are all some care about, to find NAVA publishing solid documentation about the symbolism and historical background for Native American flags." -- Dr. Whitney Smith, Founder and Directory of the Flag Research Center, Winchester, Mass., the foremost world authority on flags. [review] "Until now, no one had bothered to include American Indian flags when compiling encyclopedic pages of the symbols of sovereign nations. Flags of the Native Peoples of the United States beautifully and sensitively addresses that oversight. The brief yet eloquent descriptions of the birth and evolution of the symbol that eventually became an Indian Nation's flag are presented in the words of tribal peoples. Superbly crafted and well researched, this ground-breaking little book deserves the widest possible readership. -- jim roaix, Founder and former editor of The Eagle, New England's award-winning American Indian journal.
