A handbook for Arizona Native Americans under 18 years old explains rights and responsibilities as young people, Native Americans, tribal members, and residents of Arizona.

A section on education covers rights as a student, Bureau of Indian Affairs boarding schools, special education, school discipline, suspension, expulsion, and constitutional rights. "Youth and the Criminal Justice System" outlines legal rights of juveniles, arrest procedures, and hearings and appeals. Health care rights and the Indian Health Service are discussed. Employment rights of young people are explained, including minimum wages, hours and kinds of work, exceptions to child labor laws, job discrimination, rights to wages, workmen's compensation, unemployment compensation, and social security.
