We Are an Indian Nation: A History of the Hualapai PeopleThough not as well known as the U.

In less than twenty five years after first encountering Anglos, the Hualapais had lost more than half their population and nearly all their land and found themselves consigned to a reservation.

Though not as well known as the U.S. military campaigns against the Apache, the ethnic warfare conducted against indigenous people of the Colorado River basin was equally devastating. In less than twenty-five years after first encountering Anglos, the Hualapais had lost more than half their population and nearly all their land and found themselves consigned to a reservation.

This book focuses on the historical construction of the Hualapai Nation in the face of modern American colonialism. Drawing on archival research, interviews, and participant observation, Jeffrey Shepherd describes how thirteen bands of extended families known as The Pai confronted American colonialism and in the process recast themselves as a modern Indigenous nation.

Shepherd shows that Hualapai nation-building was a complex process shaped by band identities, competing visions of the past, creative reactions to modernity, and resistance to state power. He analyzes how the Hualapais transformed an externally imposed tribal identity through nationalist discourses of protecting aboriginal territory; and he examines how that discourse strengthened the Hualapais' claim to land and water while simultaneously reifying a politicized version of their own history. Along the way, he sheds new light on familiar topics--Indian-white conflict, the creation of tribal government, wage labor, federal policy, and Native activism--by applying theories of race, space, historical memory, and decolonization.

Drawing on recent work in American Indian history and Native American studies, Shepherd shows how the Hualapai have strived to reclaim a distinct identity and culture in the face of ongoing colonialism. We Are an Indian Nation is grounded in Hualapai voices and agendas while simultaneously situating their history in the larger tapestry of Native peoples' confrontations with colonialism and modernity.

Decent Suit, But the Sizing Is Way Off
Color: Black, Size: XX-Large
I really wanted to like this suit because the material and overall look are actually pretty decent for the price. The jacket and vest fit about how I expected for an XXL—no complaints there. But the pants? I swear they could fit a small horse. I ordered the WULFUL Men’s 3-Piece Slim Fit Suit in Black, XX‑Large, and the pants that came with it were massive. They’re supposed to be part of a “slim fit” set, but the waist and leg width are so oversized that I have no idea what size they were aiming for. It honestly feels like they just toss in whatever pants are nearby. If you’re buying this suit, be prepared for a trip to the tailor… or to exchange the whole thing. The suit itself is okay, but the sizing consistency is terrible.

Good quality suit, but size up.
The suit seemed was very good quality. It was too small, so size up. We had to send it back, but the refund process was very simple and easy! Thank you for the easy transaction!
