Native Signatures of Assent. In X-Marks, Scott Richard Lyons explores the complexity of contemporary Indian identity and current debates among Indians about traditionalism, nationalism, and tribalism. Author: Scott Richard Lyons. Employing the x-mark as a metaphor for what he calls the Indian assent to the new, Lyons offers a valuable alternative to both imperialist concepts of assimilation and nativist notions of resistance, calling into question the binary oppositions produced during the age of imperialism and maintaining that indigeneity is something that people do, not what they are.

In X-Marks: Native Signatures of Assent, Scott Richard Lyons offers a timely corrective to the excesses of traditionalist scholarship within Native American studies. For Lyons, the field’s central concepts-identity, culture, and nation-are too often deployed in ways that promote an ahistorical and essentialist understanding of indigeneity. This fetishistic adherence to tradition demonizes the adoption of modern practices; for traditionalists, modernization is synonymous with assimilation. Lyons contests this reductive equivalency by arguing that change is fundamental to Native traditions.
