Summary

Tribal Nations Today explores the modern realities of Tribal Nations navigating self-governance while preserving their cultural identities. The book delves into tribal sovereignty, cultural preservation, and economic development, which are vital for the resilience of these communities. Did you know that some tribes generate significant revenue through gaming enterprises, which supports essential services like healthcare and education? Understanding Federal Indian Law and the concept of inherent sovereignty is the foundation to grasping modern tribal governance. The book progresses from foundational principles to practical implications across three parts. It analyzes tribal governance, legal frameworks, and jurisdictional control, then transitions to cultural preservation through language revitalization and protection of sacred sites, and finally explores economic development strategies such as natural resource management. What makes this book unique is its focus on the voices and experiences of tribal leaders, community members, and scholars. It utilizes legal precedents, statistical data, ethnographic research, and case studies to argue that tribal nations' ability to thrive depends on exercising sovereignty, protecting heritage, and fostering sustainable economic growth. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and successes of tribal nations.

Ann Arbor has seen many cherished landmarks and institutions come and go - some fondly remembered and others lost to time.When the city was little more than a village in the wilderness, its first school stood on the now busy corner of Main and Ann. Stores like Bach & Abel's and Dean & Co. served local needs as the village grew into a small town. As the town became a thriving city, Drake's and Maude's fed generations of hungry diners, and Fiegel's clothed father and son alike. Residents passed their time seeing movies at the Majestic or watching parades go down Main Street. Join authors Patti F. Smith and Britain Woodman on a tour of the city's past.

Screen Damage - The Dangers of...

Michel Desmurget

All forms of recreational digital consumption—whether on smartphones, tablets, game consoles, or TVs—have skyrocketed in the younger generations. From the age of two, children in the West clock up more than 2.5 hours of screen time a day; by the time they reach thirteen, it's more than seven hours a day. Added up over the first eighteen years of life, this is the equivalent of almost thirty school years, or fifteen years of full-time employment. 
 
 
 
Most media experts do not seem overly concerned about this situation: children are adaptable, they say, they are "digital natives," their brains have changed and screens make them smarter. But other specialists—including some pediatricians, psychiatrists, teachers, and speech therapists—dispute these claims, and many parents worry about the long-term consequences of their children's intensive exposure to screens. 
 
 
 
Michel Desmurget, a leading neuroscientist, has carefully weighed up the scientific evidence concerning the impact of the digital activities of our children and adolescents, and his assessment does not make for happy listening: he shows that these activities have significant detrimental consequences in terms of the health, behavior, and intellectual abilities of young people, and strongly affect their academic outcomes.
