Read Book : tq.filegood.club/B003QHYS1Q

Since 1975, when the US government adopted a policy of selfdetermination for American Indian nations, a large number of the 562 federally recognized nations have seized the opportunity to govern themselves and determine their own economic, political, and cultural futures As a first and crucial step in this process, many nations are revising constitutions originally developed by the US government to create governmental structures more attuned to native people's unique cultural and political values These new constitutions and the governing institutions they create are fostering greater governmental stability and accountability, increasing citizen support of government, and providing a firmer foundation for economic and political developmentThis book brings together for the first time the writings of tribal reform leaders, academics, and legal practitioners to offer a comprehensive overview of American Indian nations' constitutional reform processes and the rebuilding of native nations
