How to Be an Authentic Indian |
5 California Law Review Circuit 392 (November, 2014) |
As you are all certainly aware of by now, image is everything. That is particularly true for us tribal people (or Native Americans as the bleeding- heart whiteskins are always so careful to say). Image is pretty much all we have left these days. The land is gone. The money is gone. The treaty rights are gone. And now, the cornerstone of our image... |

It's Hard out Here for an American Indian: Implications of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act for the American Indian Population |

The storied and often turbulent relationship the United States shares with the nation's indigenous population is tainted with broken promises and marked by indifference.
