The National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) was founded in 1944 and is considered the oldest representative of American Indian and Alaskan Native organization that serves and advocates for the interests of tribal governments and communities.
The topic for the essay is concerning American Indian sovereignty and territoriality. As you have seen in the NCAI report, self-governing is crucial to the survival and success of the First nation people. Below is a series of articles that examine the history of sovereignty and the debate on whether the United States Congress should limit or allow sovereignty for tribes in the United States. Each article has to discuss the history and have knowledge of treaties and policies that have been made in the past.
In this essay you will summarize and discuss for the class what you learned in the article. In this essay make sure you discuss what sovereignty means and whether your author approves of sovereignty or not for an American Tribe residing in the United States. Discuss some of those policies or treaties you discovered in the articles. Also discuss what issues the First Nations deal with in having the ability to self govern. Also add one paragraph discussing your view on American Indian sovereignty but as always refrain from using “I”.
