What does tribal sovereignty really mean--and why does it matter today?
Accessibly written for the nonspecialist, acclaimed historian Donald L. Fixico unpacks the complex history and legal foundations of tribal sovereignty in the United States. From traditional Native governance to landmark treaties, federal laws, and court cases, Fixico guides readers through the evolution of tribal self-rule and its modern expressions--from tribal constitutions to license plates and casinos. Designed for students, educators, tribal members, and professionals alike, this book offers a clear, compelling introduction to one of the most important--and often misunderstood--concepts in American Indian affairs.
This book is a go-to source for understanding the federal Indian laws, treaties, and court cases simplified to explain tribal sovereignty.
Donald L. Fixico (Shawnee, Sac and Fox, Muscogee and Seminole) is Regents' and Distinguished Foundation Professor of History at Arizona State University. He has worked on twenty-five documentaries, and he has written or edited twenty books.
