Book Signing: “Broken Landscape: Indians, Indian Tribes and the Constitution”
Leading scholar in American Indian law, Professor Frank Pommersheim will talk about his new book, “Broken Landscape: Indian Tribes and the Constitution,” which is a sweeping chronicle of Indian tribal sovereignty under the U.S. Constitution and the way that legal analysis and practice have interpreted and misinterpreted tribal sovereignty since the nation’s founding. After demonstrating that the federal government has repeatedly failed to respect tribal sovereignty, he closes with a proposal for a constitutional amendment that would reaffirm tribal sovereignty and accord Indian tribes and Indian people the respect and dignity that are their due. Book signing and reception to follow.
