Although Native Americans have been subjugated by every American
government since The Founding, they have persevered and, in some
cases, thrived. What explains the existence of separate,
semi-sovereign nations within the larger American nation? In large
part it has been victories won at the Supreme Court that have
preserved the opportunity for Native Americans to 'make their own
laws and be ruled by them.' The Supreme Court could have gone
further, creating truly sovereign nations with whom the United
States could have negotiated on an equal basis. The Supreme Court
could also have done away with tribes and tribalism with the stroke
of a pen. Instead, the Court set a compromise course, declaring
tribes not fully sovereign but also something far more than a mere
social club. This book describes several of the most famous Supreme
Court cases impacting the course of Native American history. The
author provides an analysis of canonical American Indian Law cases
with historical and legal context and brings a fresh perspective to
the issues. Law students, policy makers and judges looking for an
introduction to American Indian Law will gain an understanding of
this complicated history. This exploration will also appeal to
academics interested in a new perspective on old and current cases.
