Praise for The Great Vanishing Act

“This extraordinary, wildly informative book provides deep insight to the challenges Native America faces with blood quantum. The book could very well inspire Native America to consciously and deeply rethink how our tribes have been delineated by blood quantum policy and its pure intent to extinguish our people.”

—Richard Luarkie, CEO, Emerging Equities Solutions Group, Former Governor for Pueblo of Laguna

“The Great Vanishing Act provides incisive criticism and warning regarding colonially inspired and federally promulgated modes of American Indian assimilation and annihilation – most notable the Anglo-American racial notion of blood quantum.”

—Gabriel S. Galanda, Galanda Broadman, PLLC
