• Sums up the issues, discussion, and proposed solutions to the questions surrounding Indian identity

• Sounds an awakening call to tribal leaders regarding the threat of extermination if they continue to rely on the paradigm of blood quantum instead of citizenship to define Indian identity

• Provides a voice that reaches out to and finds common cause with indigenous brothers and sisters in the world of former British colonies
