Uneven Ground
American Indian Sovereignty
By David E. Wilkins and
K. Tsianina Lomawaima
In the early 1970s, the federal government
began recognizing self-determination for
American Indian nations. As sovereign entities Indian na-
tions have been able to establish policies concerning health
care, education, religious freedom, law enforcement, gam-
ing, and taxation—but these gains have not gone unchal-
lenged. Uneven Ground discusses how the political rights
and sovereign status of Indian nations have variously been
respected, ignored, terminated, and modified by federal
lawmakers as a result of the ambivalent political and legal
status of tribes under Western law.

tecting their right to self-govern. Indian gaming is a new
source of tribal-state conflict and debates surrounding it
will continue well into the twenty-first century.
