Real Indians: Identity and the Survival of Native America is a 2003 book by Cherokee sociologist Eva Marie Garroutte.[1] It was published in University of California Press.[1] It explores the complexities of Native American identity through legal, biological, and cultural lenses, revealing the challenges Indigenous people face in proving their identity according to non-Native criteria.[1] Garroutte proposes "radical indigenism" as a solution, advocating for Native communities to reclaim identity definitions rooted in tribal philosophies, kinship, and reciprocal ethics, emphasizing the importance of community-driven knowledge and relationships to ancestry.[1] The book received several literary reviews.[2][3][1][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
