I think there may be cultural reasons why Native American activists
aren't as vocal and noticable as other minority activists.  I can't
quite put my finger on what it is, but the reasons may have their
roots in post-contact cultural changes.  I'm thinking mostly of
changes stemming from adaptations made under early reservation life.
