This is an important book./i>--Eric Anderson Pacific Northwest Quarterly


As scholars in history, anthropology, environmental studies, nursing, and biology, among others, continue to explore indigenous food restoration as a location of sovereignty and cultural reclamation, the case studies featured in Coming Full Circle provide important community examples. Crawford O'Brien's collaboration with these communities highlights the significance of academic/Native community partnerships and results in accounts of poignant and meaningful health solutions. -Laurie Arnold, Western Historical Quarterly -- Laurie Arnold * Western Historical Quarterly * This is an important book. -Eric Anderson, Pacific Northwest Quarterly -- Eric Anderson * Pacific Northwest Quarterly * Coming Full Circle is a strong example of interdisciplinary, mixed-methods research. By analyzing the historical, religious, spiritual, economic, and cultural factors influencing tribal peoples' healing and spiritual traditions, Crawford-O'Brien demonstrates the beauty and resilience of tribal communities and tribal cultural traditions. -Michelle M. Jacob, Oregon Historical Quarterly -- Michelle M. Jacob * Oregon Historical Quarterly *
