Communicating culture through leadership: One view from Indian countryFootnote¹

It is important to note here that we do not intend this single analysis to encompass all of the experiences of all American Indians, who number over one million people, who are members of over 550 federally recognized tribes, and who have a variety of beliefs and attitudes. Not only does this group represent a broad array of interests and ideas, this diversity extends even to group labels, with some preferring “American Indian,” some “Native American,” and some “indigenous peoples.” We generally use “American Indian” throughout this essay, but respect the other uses in other contexts and the issues that underlie the choice of labels.
