As long as the government was deciding what tribal buildings should look like  Native custom and culture were bound to be boxed inor boxed out. But in the post-1996 era of more flexible housing policies  Native peoples have assumed a key role in the design of buildings on tribal lands. The result is an architecture that finally accords with the traditions and ideas of the people who inhabit it.  A virtual tour of recent Native building projects in Canada and the western and midwestern United States  New Architecture on Indigenous Lands conducts readers through cultural centers and schools  clinics and housing  and even a sugar camp  all while showing how tribal identity is manifested in various distinctive ways. Focusing on such sites as the Tribal Council Chambers of the Pojoaque Pueblo; the Zuni Eagle Sanctuary in New Mexico; the NkMip Desert Cultural Centre in Osoyoos  British Columbia; and the Tlisalagilakw Elementary School  Joy Monice Malnar and Frank Vodvarka offer wide-ranging insights into the sensory  symbolic  cultural  and environmental contexts of this new architecture.  With close attention to details of design  questions of tradition  and cultural issues  and through interviews with designers and their Native clients  the authors provide an in-depth introduction to the new Native architecture in its many guisesand a rare chance to appreciate its aesthetic power.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665931067445,"sku":"ByrdShop_081667745X","price":57.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780816677450.jpg?v=1782414609","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/new-architecture-on-indigenous-lands-9780816677450","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
