"Black Elk speaks of the 'square boxes' his people were forced into, and Winona LaDuke
of the 'boxes of mints' on Native lands. As long as the government was deciding what
tribal buildings should look like, Native custom and culture were bound to be boxed
in--or boxed out. But in the post-1996 era of more flexible housing policies, Native
peoples have assumed a key role in the design of buildings on tribal lands. The result
is an architecture that finally accords with the traditions and ideas of the people
who inhabit it. A virtual tour of recent Native building projects in Canada and the
western and midwestern United States, New Architecture on Indigenous Lands conducts
readers through cultural centers and schools, clinics and housing, and even a sugar
camp, all while showing how tribal identity is manifested in various distinctive ways.
Focusing on such sites as the Tribal Council Chambers of the Pojoaque Pueblo; the
Zuni Eagle Sanctuary in New Mexico; the Nk'Mip Desert Cultural Center in Osoyoos,
British Columbia; and the T'lisalagi'law Elementary School, Joy Monice Malnar and
Frank Vodvarka offer wide-ranging insights into the sensory, symbolic, cultural, and
environmental contexts of this new architecture. With close attention to details of
design, questions of tradition, and cultural issues, and through interviews with designers
and their Native clients, the authors provide an in-depth introduction to the new
Native architecture in its many guises--and a rare chance to appreciate its aesthetic
power"
