Some pages have highlighti g and pencil underlines DREW'S NOTES: I've recommend this book to many of my friends and others to read as a primer when learning about Native American's political history in the US. OVERVIEW: American Indian Politics and the American Political System brings together in one source a comprehensive introduction to the history, structure, and function of tribal governments, their relationship to contemporary American politics, and the rights of individual Indians who are often caught in between these frequently contentious sovereigns. As David E. Wilkins expertly demonstrates, American Indian politics today is an elaborate braid of tribal government, American citizenship, Indigenous activism, economic development, media attention, and cultural identity.
