Uneven Ground: American Indian Sovereignty and Federal Law

covers what I expected and more. I understand how the previous books intertwine in legal history of our nation. Touches on issues aside from the treaties more in-depth. Thanks.

This text was purchased as required for an Indigenous Peoples Law Program. Book was in good condition and highlights provided relevant quick access to subject matter.

This is a very in-depth and thorough examination of Indian sovereignty and treaty law, with detailed analysis of how Supreme Court decisions have shaped federal Indian law and attitudes towards American Indians.

It's good

excellent author

This is a well-researched, highly readable, yet scholarly treatment of a timely subject that is sure to attract attention in the coming years. The authors review often competing legal precedents in Federal law as they relate to Indian legal issues and find that inconsistencies, including varied interpretations together with the age old imbalance of power, has resulted in justice for American Indians being built on a bed of sand that is unfair, unpredictable, and in need of clarification. The book includes a thorough discussion on the Doctrine of Discovery, the Trust Doctrine, the Doctrine of Plenary Power, and the Doctrine of Soverign Immunity and is highly recommended for those readers interested in this expanding area of Native American studies. These are the kind of issues that led to the Wounded Knee disaster of the 1970s.
