Description
Sovereignty establishes a government-to-government relationship between American Indian tribes and the United States. Exploring tribal-state interactions over land and sovereignty, this book takes a geographical look at issues of environmental regulation, expansion of gaming, criminal jurisdiction, taxation, fishing, and transportation. The contributors find repeatedly that tribes and states have two choices-litigate or cooperate. While identifying the encroachment of state jurisdiction in Indian country, this book also seeks to develop a resource for tribes, states, and all actors in their relationships and to show that no tribal-state interaction has to be a zero-sum game.

A 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.
