Survival and Regeneration
Detroit's American Indian Community

Edmund J. Danziger, Jr. 		Survival and Regeneration captures the heritage of Detroit's Indian community through printed sources and the personal life stories of many Native Americans. During a ten-year period, Edmund Danziger interviewed hundreds of Indians about their past and their needs and aspiratons for the future. This history is essentially their success story.
This inspiring volume examines the historic challenges that Native American migrants to Detroit faced—adjusting to urban life, finding a good job and a decent place to live, securing quality medical acre, educating their children, and maintaining their unique cultural heritage. Danziger scrutinizes the leadership that emerged within the Indian community and the importance of personal networks and formal native organizations through which the Indian community's wide-ranging needs have been met. He also highlights the significant progressenjoyed by Detroit Indians that has resulted from their persistence and self-determination.
