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.

Lyons contests this reductive equivalency by arguing that change is fundamental to Native traditions.
