The arrival of European and Euro-American colonizers in the
Americas brought not only physical attacks against Native American
tribes, but also further attacks against the sovereignty of these
Indian nations. Though the violent tales of the Trail of Tears,
Black Hawk's War, and the Battle of Little Big Horn are taught far
and wide, the political structure and development of Native
American tribes, and the effect of American domination on Native
American sovereignty, have been greatly neglected.
This book contains a variety of primary source and other
documents--traditional accounts, tribal constitutions, legal codes,
business councils, rules and regulations, BIA agents reports,
congressional discourse, intertribal compacts--written both by
Natives from many different nations and some non-Natives, that
reflect how indigenous peoples continued to exercise a significant
measure of self-determination long after it was presumed to have
been lost, surrendered, or vanquished. The documents are arranged
chronologically, and Wilkins provides brief, introductory essays to
each document, placing them within the proper context. Each
introduction is followed by a brief list of suggestions for further
reading.
Covering a fascinating and relatively unknown period in Native
American history, from the earliest examples of indigenous
political writings to the formal constitutions crafted just before
the American intervention of the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934,
this anthology will be an invaluable resource for scholars and
students of the political development of indigenous peoples the
world over.
