| Summary: | This collection of 36 works, many by Native American scholars, introduces selected topics in federal Indian law. Readings in American Indian Law covers contemporary issues of identity and tribal recognition, reparations for historic harms, the valuation of land in land claims, the return to tribal owners of human remains, sacred items and cultural property, tribal governance and issues of gender, democracy informed by cultural awareness and religious freedom. Courses in federal Indian law are often aimed at understanding rules, not cultural conflicts. This book expands doctrinal discussions into understandings of culture, strategy, history, identity and hopes for the future. Contributions from law, history, anthropology, ethnohistory, biography, sociology, sociolegal studies and fiction offer an array of alternative paradigms as strong antidotes to our usual conceptions of federal Indian law. |
