Abstract
This study is a wholehearted exploration of artistic and cultural production engaging the theme of American Indian resistance, perhaps going further than previous American Indian art forums in print with a thematic analysis. Rader organizes an inventory of the creative process of resistance (against extinction, misrepresentation, and debasement) by detailing in chapter 2 artistic works-including Jaune Quick-to-See Smith's large painted canvases denoting maps of Indigenous-named states in the U.S.-that Rader says represent a resistance to settler society's seizings and its attempted erasure of Natives while simultaneously claiming their continued presence.
