  • Summary

    A Narrative of Sovereignty: looks at the tangible ramifications that Supreme Court decisions have had and continue to have on reservation life. The piece focuses on the Navajo Nation and tracks how its tribal laws and policies have evolved with changing Supreme Court decisions from 1970 to 2003 to try to meet the needs of its people while living with the limits placed upon its authority by the courts. Krakoff concludes that courts need to be more cognizant of the effects of their decisions on reservation communities to ensure the cultural survival of American Indians.
