Description

Faith in Paper is about the reinstitution of Indian treaty rights in the Upper Great Lakes region all the way through the last quarter of the 20th century. The book specializes in the treaties and legal cases that together
have awakened a new day in Native American sovereignty and established the place of Indian tribes on the up to date political landscape.
 
In addition to discussing the historic development of Indian treaties and their social and legal context, Charles E. Cleland outlines specific treaties litigated in up to date courts in addition to the have an effect on of treaty litigation on the up to date Indian and non-Indian communities of the region. Faith in Paper is both the most important contribution to the scholarship of Indian legal matters and a wealthy resource for Indians
themselves as they strive to retain or regain rights that have eroded through the years.
