Native American Flags
by Donald T. Healy & Peter J. Orenski, published by the University of Oklahoma Press, 2003

Here's what the experts are saying about this important work:

What a treasure this volume is! With so much flag-related literature in print, it is rare that a whole new area can be discovered and presented -- especially one of such importance. It is also gratifying in an age when "pretty pictures" are all some care about, to find NAVA publishing solid documentation about the symbolism and historical background for Native American flags.

Until now, no one had bothered to included American Indian flags when compiling encyclopedic pages of the symbols of sovereign nations. Flags of the Native Peoples of the United States beautifully and sensitively addresses that oversight. The brief yet eloquent descriptions of the birth and evolution of the symbol that eventually became an Indian Nation's flag are presented in the words of tribal peoples. Superbly crafted and well researched, this groundbreaking little book deserves the widest possible readership.

Bravo! Don Healy shows the way in documenting Native American flags and seals. And bravo to the Native Americans for sharing knowledge of their flags, the flags of their heritage and homelands.

Let's hope that Healy's amazing success will stimulate Canadians and Latin Americans to redouble efforts, with Native co-operation, in gathering, organizing, and analyzing data on flags and symbols of the other Native Peoples in the Americas -- North, Central, and South.
