The relationship between American Indians and the U.S. political
system is both vitally important and unique. Yet American
Indians--as individuals and as tribal nations--typically receive
scant attention in introductory courses on American government and
politics. This is the only reader on Native America and U.S.
politics designed to be incorporated into introductory government
courses. It will help students to obtain a clearer understanding of
such contemporary issues as Indian fishing rights and gaming
casinos and to see topics central to the course--the Constitution,
the structure of federalism, citizenship, and civil liberties--from
the perspective of groups that have often sought a protected place
outside the U.S. polity rather than inclusion within. Enabling
students to compare the American Indian experience with the ideas
presented in other course materials, the readings in this book are
keyed to the topics most commonly found in the course syllabi.
Selected for their insight and accessibility as well as diversity
of viewpoints and topics, the essays provide a unique insight into
the character of the American political system from the perspective
of American Indians, teaching the reader much about both the tribes
and the character of politics and government in the U.S. generally.
