Book
On the drafting of tribal constitutions / by Felix S. Cohen ; edited by David E. Wilkins ; foreword by Lindsay G. Robertson.
On the Drafting of Tribal Constitutions shows that concepts of Indigenous autonomy and self-governance have been vital to Native nations throughout history. As today's tribal governments undertake reform, Cohen's memorandum again offers a wealth of insight on how best to amend previous constitutions. It also helps scholars better understand the historic policy shift brought about by the Indian Reorganization Act."--Pub. desc.
