Indians in their tribal relation and Indian tribes in their relation to the federal government hang suspended in a legal wonderland. In this book, two prominent scholars of American Indian law and politics undertake a full historical examination of the relationship between Indians and the United States Constitution that explains the present state of confusion and inconsistent application in U.S. Indian law. The authors examine all sections of the Constitution that explicitly and implicitly apply to Indians and discuss how they have been interpreted and applied from the early republic up to the present. They convincingly argue that the Constitution does not provide any legal rights for American Indians and that the treaty-making process should govern relations between Indian nations and the federal government.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49687849337105,"sku":"CIN0292716087G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52830051434769,"sku":"GOR014633565","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0292716087.jpg?v=1763220905"},{"product_id":"custer-died-for-your-sins-book-vine-deloria-9780806121291","title":"Custer Died for Your Sins","description":"\u003cp\u003e In his new preface to this paperback edition, the author observes, The Indian world has changed so substantially since the first publication of this book that some things contained in it seem new again.

Jung and the Sioux Traditions","description":"While visiting the United States, C. G. Jung visited the Taos Pueblo in New Mexico, where he spent several hours with Ochwiay Biano, Mountain Lake, an elder at the Pueblo. This encounter impacted Jung psychologically, emotionally, and intellectually, and had a sustained influence on his theories and understanding of the psyche. Dakota Sioux intellectual and political leader, Vine Deloria Jr., began a close study of the writings of C. G. Jung over two decades ago, but had long been struck by certain affinities and disjunctures between Jungian and Sioux Indian thought. He also noticed that many Jungians were often drawn to Native American traditions. This book, the result of Deloria's investigation of these affinities, is written as a measured comparison between the psychology of C. G. Jung and the philosophical and cultural traditions of the Sioux people. Deloria constructs a fascinating dialogue between the two systems that touches on cosmology, the family, relations with animals, visions, voices, and individuation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50399275614481,"sku":"CIN1682753239VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51098110591249,"sku":"NIN9781682753231","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51354991460625,"sku":"CIN1682753239G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1682753239.jpg?v=1771496526"},{"product_id":"evolution-creationism-and-other-modern-myths-book-vine-deloria-9781555911591","title":"Evolution, Creationism, and Other Modern Myths","description":"I offer no comfort to religious fundamentalists or evolutionists.Both are passe and represent only a quarrel within the Western belief system, not an accurate rendering of Earth history.

Using the tension between evolutionists and creationists in Kansas in the 1990s as a focal point, Deloria takes Western science and religion to task, providing a critical assessment of the flaws and anomalies in each side's arguments. As he incorporates non-Western and Native American ideas, as well as the concept of Intelligent Design, Deloria provides us with a framework to better understand our origins.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50764320473361,"sku":"CIN1555911595G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51401907470609,"sku":"CIN1555911595VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1555911595.jpg?v=1750958333"},{"product_id":"indian-affair-book-vine-deloria-jr-9781733075954","title":"The Indian Affair","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Indian Affair Deloria traces the history of broken treaties with the Indians, describing how they were swindled out of their rights and pulling no punches in naming individuals, agencies, and corporations that have participated.

In American Indian Policy in the Twentieth Century, edited by Vine Deloria, Jr., a group of writers deals with present realities and future possibilities, taking the lead in encouraging discussion and further research into areas of concern to American Indians.Against the background of the larger field of Indian affairs, these authors suggest new ways of thinking about specific problems:  Joyotpaul Chaudhuri  -  \"\"American Indian Policy: An Overview\"\"  Sharon O'Brien  -  \"\"Federal Indian Policies and the International Protection of Human Rights\"\"  Fred L. Ragsdale, Jr.  -  \"\"The Deception of Geography\"\"  Michael Lacy  -  \"\"The United States and American Indians: Political Relations\"\"  Daniel McCool  -  \"\"Indian Voting\"\"  Tom Holm  -  \"\"The Crisis in Tribal Government\"\"  David L.

In part speculative, the book defines many of the factors that bear on the formation of policies at the federal level, and it discusses new institutions and legislation that can assist American Indians, enabling tribal members and other individuals to better understand their present status and draw reasonable conclusions about their future. This book will be of interest in several fields of study. History and law classes, short courses on Indian affairs, tribal governments and training programs, and state agencies that deal with Indians will find it of benefit, as well as the general reader interested in the welfare and future of American Indians.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51416361206033,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51416362189073,"sku":"CIN0806124245G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52112201318673,"sku":"GOR007932734","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52434880692497,"sku":"NLS9780806124247","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52784015016209,"sku":"GOR014620830","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0806124245.jpg?v=1767356725"},{"product_id":"indians-of-the-pacific-northwest-book-vine-deloria-9780385097901","title":"Indians of the Pacific Northwest","description":"Prior to the onslaught of the Europeans, the Puget Sound area was one of the most heavily populated regions north of Mexico City.

In The Indian Reorganization Act, Vine Deloria, Jr., has compiled the actual historical records of those congresses.Deloria makes available important documents of the premier years of reform in federal Indian policy as well as the bill itself. A version of Collier's act eventually passed Congress, but in a less far-reaching form.
