Becoming Nations Again
The Journey Towards Tribal Self Determination
Abstract
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.
