"ASPIRATIONS": THE UNITED STATES AND INDIGENOUS PEOPLES' HUMAN RIGHTS |
36 Harvard Human Rights Journal 41 (Spring, 2023) |

Our country was built on the systemic erasure of Indigenous persons, their communities, and their culture.

(Tribal) Sovereignty and Illiberalism |
95 California Law Review 799 (June, 2007) |
Liberalism struggles with an ancient paradox. That is, it must navigate the sometimes treacherous course between individual autonomy and pluralism's accommodation.

On the one hand, tribal sovereignty guards; Search Snippet: ...on behalf of Indian tribes as well.
