Domination Chronicles 004: Seeing Through To The Emperor's Extravagant Pretension
A resource post on Episode 4 and its discussion of Flying T Ranch, racism, pretension, and federal Indian law.

A Washington Supreme Court concurrence in Flying T Ranch v. Stillaguamish Tribe criticized the racism of foundational federal Indian law cases.
This episode is important for ILI readers because it shows a state-court concurrence naming the racism in foundational federal Indian law. Newcomb and d’Errico use that opening to press further: what happens when a legal system begins to see through its own inherited pretensions?
This short resource post is part of an Indigenous Law Institute guide to the Domination Chronicles archive. The goal is to help readers move from ILI’s work on empire, Christian discovery, federal Indian law, and the right of domination into the podcast conversations where those themes are examined episode by episode.
