"Faith in Paper" is about the reinstitution of Indian treaty rights
in the Upper Great Lakes region during the last quarter of the 20th
century. The book focuses on the treaties and legal cases that
togetherhave awakened a new day in Native American sovereignty and
established the place of Indian tribes on the modern political
landscape. In addition to discussing the historic development of
Indian treaties and their social and legal context, Charles E.
Cleland outlines specific treaties litigated in modern courts as
well as the impact of treaty litigation on the modern Indian and
non-Indian communities of the region. "Faith in Paper" is both an
important contribution to the scholarship of Indian legal matters
and a rich resource for Indiansthemselves as they strive to retain
or regain rights that have eroded over the years. Charles E.
Cleland is Michigan State University Emeritus Professor of
Anthropology and Curator of Anthropology and Ethnology. He has been
an expert witness in numerous Native American land claims and
fishing rights cases and written a number of other books on the
subject, including "Rites of Conquest: The History and Culture of
Michigan's Native Americans"; "The Place of the Pike
(Gnoozhekaaning): A History of the Bay Mills Indian Community"; and
(as a contributor) "Fish in the ""Lakes, Wild Rice, and Game in
Abundance: Testimony on Behalf of Mille Lacs Ojibwe Hunting and
Fishing Rights."
