Tribal Nations: Tribal Governance through time

Please review the report on Tribal Nations and the United States: Tribal Governance through time: By the NCAI.org

The topic for the essay is concerning American Indian sovereignty and territoriality. As you have seen in the NCAI report, self-governing is crucial to the survival and success of the First Nation people. Below is a series of articles that examine the history of sovereignty and the debate on whether the United States Congress should limit or allow sovereignty for tribes in the United States. Each article has to discuss the history and have knowledge of treaties and policies that have been made in the past.

You will pick one of the articles and your essay will summarize and discuss for the class what you learned in the article. In this essay make sure you discuss what sovereignty means and whether your author approves of sovereignty or not for an American Tribe residing in the United States. Discuss some of those policies or treaties you discovered in the articles. Also, discuss what issues the First Nations deal with in having the ability to self-govern. Also, add one paragraph discussing your view on American Indian sovereignty.
