Oral Histories of Urban Indians.  Lee Francis makes a compelling case for the importance of storytelling in understanding our identities.  Here is a wonderful website that features the oral histories of Urban Indians in Seattle, Washington.  Learn how Urban Indians participated in the civil and labor rights movements.  After listening to these stories, do you agree or disagree with Francis's views on the importance of narrative?  How do these stories enrich our understanding of cities and the identities of urban dwellers? 

Urban Indians--general information.  For more information on Urban Indians--who they are and the challenges they face today, please see the website of the National Urban Indian Family Coalition.
