“Anyone interested in contemporary Native American culture will immediately recognize this mammoth source book as the gold mine it is. Every public library in America should have a copy on its shelves.”
– Mary Ishimoto Morris, Washington Post Book World (from review of 2nd edition)
“For anyone who wants to understand the state of Indian Country, Tiller’s Guide is simply invaluable. Its unmatched factual detail is organized and presented brilliantly, allowing the reader to focus immediately on any individual Native Nation.”
– Joseph P. Kalt, Co-Director, The Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development, Harvard University
Whenever I’m invited to visit a Native Nation for the first time, soon after my flight is booked, I turn to Tiller’s Guide for recent history, an economic overview, and cultural background. The variety and breadth in the Guide is not just a testament to Veronica’s hard work in gathering information via on-the-ground site visits, but also to the resurgence of Native self-government. Indian Country’s diversity and vibrancy are on display in every page. I try to get the newest edition as soon as I can.
