Summary note

"Tribes operated sovereign governments since time immemorial. Colonialism forced tribes onto reservations and stripped them of sovereign powers. Federal paternalism continues to undermine tribal self-governance; thus, tribes struggle with crime and poverty. Treating tribes as nations again is the key to improving life in Indian country"-- Provided by publisher.
