Description
Book SynopsisExplores tribal-state interactions over land and sovereignty, taking a geographical look at issues such as environmental regulation, expansion of gaming, criminal jurisdiction, taxation and transportation. The contributors find that tribes and state have two choices: litigate or co-operate.
Trade ReviewA recently published collection of essays, The Tribes and the States: Geographies of Intergovernmental Interaction, sheds a great deal of light on this subject and provides an excellent resource base on related issues. We congratulate the emerging crop of scholars—both Native and non-Native—who are delving deeply and seriously into these dynamics. They have provided Indian country with a valuable resource tool that should be studied by Native leaders and opinion-makers everywhere. * Indian Country Today *
