An anthropologist and a legal scholar combine expertise in this innovative book, deploying the history of one California tribe in a definitive study of indigenous sovereignty from earliest contact through the current Indian gaming era. Through the story of one remarkably persistent Indian nation, the Tule River Tribe, the authors explain how tribes in California have risen from near-destruction to reclaim control over their land, resources, and destiny, achieving great economic and political influence in a short period.
