New Architecture on Indigenous Lands takes readers on a virtual tour of recent Native building projects in Canada and the western and midwestern United States. With close attention to details of design, questions of tradition, and cultural issues, and through interviews with designers and their Native clients, it provides an in-depth introduction to the new Native architecture in its many guises.
Black Elk speaks of the "square boxes" hispeople were forced into, and Winona LaDukeof the "boxes of mints" on Native lands. Aslong as the government was deciding whattribal buildings should look like, Native customand culture were bound to be boxed in-orboxed out. But in the post-1996 era of moreflexible housing policies, Native peoples haveassumed a key role in the design of buildingson tribal lands. The result is an architecturethat finally accords with the traditions andideas of the people who inhabit it.
