American Indians
This is a concise account of Indian-white relations which has become one of the standard histories of the subject. Questions concerning Indian jurisdiction in their nations within a nation have been tested in cases relating to issues such as water and fishing rights and the Indians' exercise of their traditional religions.
American Indian Politics and the American Political System
American Indian Politics and the American Political System provides a comprehensive introduction to the history, structure, and function of tribal governments and their relationship to contemporary American politics. The second edition incorporates fresh census data, thorough discussion of the critical electoral changes in the 2000 and 2004 national elections, and data on President Bush's first and second terms. This edition also explores the effects of changes in U.S. Senate and House personnel and state legislation on Indian rights and the state-tribal relationship.
Native American Voices
The history of the American "Indian", both past and present, has been encompassed by myth and caricature. Concentrating on the Native American nations of the "lower forty-eighty", Native American Voices surveys tribal groups, their life before the European conquerors arrived, religious encounters, current beliefs, and their history of pain. Written to inform and challenge the average reader as well as the professional, this account goes beyond history to assess continuing justice issues and immense problems that face the Native American community today. The book presents research data and the need for response. Say the authors: "Only a change of opinion and a clear insight by the majority of this land will end the debilitating prejudice that senselessly contributes to the Native Americans' modern history of pain".
