Domination Chronicles 021: Tribal Sovereignty 101: Limited Sovereignty, Federal Domination, and the Language Trap
Episode 21 unpacks tribal sovereignty, limited sovereignty, Cohen's Handbook, and federal domination.
Published on: | Published by: Steven T. Newcomb | Tags: tribal-sovereignty federal-indian-law language podcast
Steve and Peter unpack tribal sovereignty, federal anti-Indian law, Cohen’s Handbook, and the domination framework hidden in plain sight.
This episode is a key resource for anyone using the phrase tribal sovereignty. Newcomb and d’Errico show how federal law converts sovereignty into “limited sovereignty,” an oxymoron that preserves the United States’ claimed power of domination.
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.
