Description:
Reservation Undiminished presents a cohesive narrative of a legal case that testifies to Native persistence in asserting territorial sovereignty in the twenty-first century--and that highlights the potential for conflict resolution in seemingly intractable legal struggles between state, local, and tribal governments.

Review Quotes: "A Reservation Undiminished is the paradigmatic story of twenty-first-century Indian Country governance. It shows where politics, history, and law engage with the lived reality of Indigenous peoples. This is an important book for advocates of both Native and non-Native governments."--Matthew L. M. Fletcher (Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians) author of Federal Indian Law
