Many Native constitutions were written by the federal government, and with little knowledge of the people and cultures. The White Earth Nation set out to create a constitution that reflected its own culture. The resulting document provides a clear Native perspective on sovereignty, independent governance, traditional leadership values, and the importance of individual and human rights.This volume includes the text of the ConsOjibwa IndiansLegal status, laws, etcOjibwa IndiansPolitics and governmentOjibwa IndiansGovernment relationsWhite Earth Band of Chippewa IndiansOjibwa IndiansLegal status, laws, etc.Ojibwa IndiansPolitics and government.Ojibwa IndiansGovernment relations.323.1197/333Vizenor Gerald Robert1934-1088812Doerfler Jill1674186MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828766803321The White Earth nation4097171UNINA
