This is a basic introduction to current issues facing "native nations," and approaches the
subject by explicating the relationship between American Indian socio/economic statuses
with their states of economic "development." The book also makes the argument that native
nations' attempts at greater control over their governments, seperate from BIA tutelage, has
measurable and tangible benefits in Indian communities.
In some areas the referrencing is not as exhaustive as it could be, and a lot of points are
backed-up with "communication" or "conversations" with folks in the field that is
un-verifiable for its readers. But the book does include an exerpt from my boss,
former Cheif Justice of the Navajo Nation Robert Yazzie--he talks a lof about the "law way"
and the "life way" in everyday contexts seperate from his contribution to the book. haha

Maybe it's just my interest in the subject matter, but this is really well-written -- clear and engaging.
