Why Must Read The Rights of Indians and Tribes?
Although this book is a great compendium of laws, executive orders and such that are relevant to our government’s relationship with Indians, it has a very opinionated liberal slant to it. I often find myself going through the extensive footnotes and looking at original sources to be certain I have the correct understanding of an issue. I am glad this book was written, but it would’ve been better without all the liberal opinionated comments.
