"In Defense of Sovereignty is the story of what happens when
racially tinged rhetoric and litigation becomes costly
intergovernmental tension that lasts for decades. Dr. Rebecca
Webster, a former tribal attorney, tells a compelling story that
should be required reading for every politician whose municipality
interacts with Native nations."--Patty Loew, author of Indian
Nations of Wisconsin: Histories of Endurance and Renewal
"In Defense of Sovereignty tells a story of resilience that will
resonate with many audiences and should be widely read. . . . The
book is a tool to communicate knowledge and experience to the next
generation of Indigenous leaders and tribal advocates, and belongs
in every collection."-- "CHOICE Reviews"
