American Indians and the Law
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
The author has presented a very reasonable and well-documented view of the legal challengess faced by Native Americans when trying to maintain their tribal identities and sovereign rights within the restraints of state and federal laws as legislated and as interpreted by the courts, the U.S. Supreme Court in particular. This is a must read for anyone who has an interest in this aspect of our history and concerns about the future direction this nation may take with regard to the legal status and rights of Native Americans in our democratic society.
