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 Cons 606 $aOjibwa Indians$xLegal status, laws, etc 606 $aOjibwa Indians$xPolitics and government 606 $aOjibwa Indians$xGovernment relations 607 $aWhite Earth Band of Chippewa Indians 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aOjibwa Indians$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aOjibwa Indians$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aOjibwa Indians$xGovernment relations. 676 $a323.1197/333 700 $aVizenor$b Gerald Robert$f1934-$0851453 701 $aDoerfler$b Jill$0851454 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464553003321 996 $aThe White Earth nation$91900973 997 $aUNINA
