Braid of Feathers

In this ambitious and moving book, Frank Pommersheim, who lived and worked on the Rosebud Sioux Indian Reservation for ten years, challenges the dominant legal history of American Indians and their tribes -- a history that concedes far too much power to the laws and courts of the "conqueror". Writing from the perspective of the reservation and contemporary Indian life, Pommersheim makes an urgent call for the advancement of tribal sovereignty and of tribal court systems that are based on Indian culture and values.Pommersheim, Frank is the author of 'Braid of Feathers' with ISBN 9780520088573 and ISBN 0520088573.
