Summary: "A Seat at the Drum" explores how Native people in the middle of an urban American culture resist assimilation. Ojibwe writer Mark Anthony Rolo guides us through the history of the Urban Indian Relocation program of the 1950s and the lives of some of the 280,000 Native AMericans living in Los Angeles. "Spiral of fire" explores the challenges faced by the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians on their reservation in North Carolina. Through the eyes of Choctaw writer LeAnne Howe, we see how their fusion of tourism, cultural preservation, and spirituality is working to insure their tribe's vitality in the 21st century.
