The Federal Acknowledgment Process (FAP) is one of the most important and contentious issues facing Native Americans today. A complicated system of criteria and procedures, the FAP is utilized by federal officials to determine whether a Native community qualifies for federal recognition by the United States government. In Forgotten Tribes, Mark Edwin Miller offers a balanced and detailed look at the origins, procedures, and assumptions governing the FAP. His work examines the FAP through the prism of four previously unrecognized tribal communities and their battles to gain indigenous rights under federal law.

Based on a wealth of interviews and original research, Forgotten Tribes features the first in-depth history and overview of the FAP and sheds light on this controversial Native identification policy involving state power over Native peoples and tribal sovereignty.

Inexpensive, not cheap, with useful added features

Functioning luminosity (duration to be tested) of hands (not seconds) and 5-minute tics d. Day/date display e. Clear setting instructions in english f. Sweep second hand 2. Packaging was not fancy, but effective; watch arrived in perfect shape with no visible defects: Flat cardboard box in cardboard sleeve with embossed logo, fitted foam box liner, plactic film around watch, protective plactic discs on crystal and stainless back. 3.

The black watch is quite handsome, if not elegant, with a simple, understated blue dial and gold markers; the photos in the listing were a faithful representation 7.

Second hand alignment is off by a quarter of a second from second marks b. Black case is excessively shiny; probably is not ion-coated and finish may not be very durable, but was preferable to me over the gold, which I am sure will mar easily c. Watch has a snap-on (not screw-on) back and minimal water resistance Bottom line, I seem to have received exactly what was offered, which is a lot for around $30

The watch Is beautiful, keeps time & date well and seems to be made of quality materials
Color: A1 - Blue / Brown
First off I have not had a watch in 20 years since I use my phone for the date and time. I decided to try using one again and love not having to retrieve my phone to check the time. The watch is beautiful and I love the look of the gold with the blue face and brown band. It works great and appears to be of the same quality as the Seiko watches that I use to own. I tested the face and tried to scratch a small area with a sharp object. I would not scratch so it is either glass or a crystal. the metal seems to be of good quality and the band is comfortable and feels like leather. Overall I am happy with it and will update this review if the situation changes.

Nice looking watch with day and date
Color: A5 - Black
This watch has a nice black face and looks like it is high quality considering the price. I guess time will tell how durable it is. The only thing I am not as pleased about is the band which is stiff and is not as comfortable as another watch that has a leather band.
