Over 250 million indigenous peoples all over the world are struggling to keep alive their ancient traditions and ways of life. "The battle lines of cultural survival cross every continent," writes Art Davidson (The Circle of Life) in this 1993 book. "In virtually every country, indigenous peoples are fighting for their lives, their identities, their futures." Here are profiles and interviews with Maasai of Kenya, Yanomami of Brazil, Maori of New Zealand, and many others whose tribes are in peril from threats of development, famine and drought, repressive governments, and loss of religious freedom. Endangered Peoples is a wake-up call for cross-cultural activists who believe that the diversity of the human family is worth preserving.
