Reviews

Federal Indian law is a massive, historic tale of injustice and redemption, but all too often the story is told by the courts and the government, not the people who developed the ideas and did the work on the ground to make law and policy. Pathways to Indigenous Nation Sovereignty is such a tale, a story that should be read by anyone with an interest in Indian law and policy. --MATTHEW L. M. FLETCHER, Professor of Law, Michigan State University College of Law, and Director, Indigenous Law and Policy Center
