American Indian sovereignty

  • "Competing Sovereignties in North America and the Right-Wing and Anti-Indian Movement": Olympia, WA: Center for World Indigenous Studies, Right-Wing Extremism & Anti-Indian Network Project, January 13, 1988.
  • "Anti-Indian Movement on the Tribal Frontier": by Rudolph C. Ryser. Occasional Paper #16, rev. ed. Olympia, WA: Center for World Indigenous Studies, June 1992.
  • Indigenous Law Institute: Works to develop a basis for thinking about Native rights from a traditional Native law perspective, contending that "Native nations and peoples have an inherent right to live free of all forms of empire and domination." Educational materials focus on traditional Native law, the historical origins of U.S. federal Indian law, historical unresolved grief, environmental education, and natural world restoration and economic self-sufficiency.
  • When Tribes and States Collide, Part I: Tribes are Outside the U.S. Federal System: by Rudolph C. Ryser. Olympia, WA: Center for World Indigenous Studies, n.d. Argues that tribal governments are separate and distinct political organisms which derive their powers from tribal communities, and were not created by either the United States government or the state government.
  • When Tribes and States Collide, Part II: Symptoms of a Greater Problem: by Rudolph C. Ryser. Olympia, WA: Center for World Indigenous Studies, n.d.. Discusses tribal law enforcement, environment and natural resources, and taxation, arguing that in all three areas problems are caused by the state's failure to acknowledge the inherent sovereignty of tribes as a political unit.
