Tribal sovereignty and legal pluralism -- In the shadows of the nation-state -- Pluralism and liberalism: testing the limits of a measured separatism for tribal nations -- Of guardians and wards: the Indian as homo sacer -- Structure and relationship: the constitutional dimensions of federal and tribal power in Indian country -- Coming full circle: (re)building institutions to advance the ethos of legal pluralism. |
| Summary |
This book argues for redirecting the trajectory of tribal-federal relations to better reflect the formative ethos of legal pluralism that operated in the nation's earliest years. It anticipates and redresses a number of objections - ideological, constitutional and institutional - that may impede the important work of revitalising tribal systems of self-government. Ultimately, the book suggests that we employ conventions on tribal sovereignty, a model of bilateral nation-building, as the preferred institutional architecture to accommodate the competing social, cultural and legal interests between the US native and non-native societies. |
