The chapter calls to mind the continued proliferation of discourses positioning Native concepts and traditions as inherently threatening toward Western, Christian religion. This collection offers a building block for future scholars to learn, examine, and build work that not only challenges the accepted notion that all rhetoric begins with the Greco-Roman tradition but also seeks to push Native scholarship further into respectful, ethical, and innovative directions.

The Cherokee nation-state now oversees the business entity Cherokee Nation Industries, an electronics company that manufactures among other things wiring harnesses for the Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey combat-troop carrier helicopter, under a federal Department of Defense contract. The Osprey, originally designed for use in combat situations, crashed several times in testing and is now used in the Iraq war primarily to transport troops and supplies close to the fighting front. 37 (The wiring harness has in no way been implicated in the Osprey's design troubles.) How such national activities are not part and parcel of an "industrialized nation-state" I have difficulty understanding.
