Self-determination is a tribal right of Native people, but colonial oppression banned their traditions and religion, purloined and misused sacred sites, and betrayed treaties when convenient. Over time, the settlers usurped Native American culture and lands, and these destructive behaviors continue today. Within the decimated Native American culture left after forced assimilation, American Indians still struggle to retain their rights. In this historical account of the despotism against Native American culture, the altercations of sovereignty, territory, and pluralistic democracy are analyzed in an effort to provide a path towards justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments ix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaps 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter One: The Struggles Begin 9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Setting 9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe American Indian View 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe View of the Newcomers 13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Meaning of Sovereignty 16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStructure of the Book 19\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Two: The Challenges Ahead 22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction 22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChallenges from the New Nation 32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Continuing Conflict 50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummary and Concluding Remarks 61\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Three: Sacred Sites and Culture: The Spiritual Assault 66\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction 66\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmerican Indian Religions 70\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupreme Court Doctrines and Tests 76\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Sacred Site Cases 79\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe New Age Threat 94\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Legislative Remedies? 102\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Trust Doctrine 105\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCongressional Actions 107\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtecting the Past 109\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReview and Conclusions 112\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Four: Environmental Sovereignty in Indian Country 116\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction 116\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe ­Eco-Indian: Myth and Reality 117\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndian Control of Their Environment 120\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTribal Government 124\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFederal Environmental Laws 128\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTAS Under the Clean Water Act 130\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaste in the Wastelands 132\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOther Environmental Challenges Facing Indian Tribes 139\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConclusion 143\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Five: The Battles Continue 146\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction 146\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe New Battles 147\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Future of Tribal Sovereignty 158\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRealizing Sacredness? 164\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSovereign Solutions 165\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinal Thoughts 167\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendix I: American Indian Religious Freedom, Public Law 95-341 183\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendix II: Chief Seattle's Speech 185\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Notes 189\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography 227\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex 243\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040476987735,"sku":"9781476681429","price":30.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781476681429.jpg?v=1750946876","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/american-indian-sovereignty-9781476681429","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
