Indian sovereignty advantages, many people understand, make perfect sense in this age of corporate tax incentives, protection of special interests, preferential markets and tariffs and all manner of techniques that are used within the American system to stimulate market economies. These are good numbers. This is an excellent moment for tribal leadership and all Native representative voices to support and assist the efforts of all other Indian people to reconstruct and prosper. As we sort out our internal differences and work to achieve the broadest possible unity, let us continually focus on where the rubber meets the road of Indian rights. In the face, everywhere in Indian country, of concentrated attacks by the alignment of powerful forces, let us agree to never disagree about the fundamental principles of sovereignty and nationhood, never forgetting the American system's unfortunate appetite for Indian lands, resources, markets, and the inherent rights of our peoples.
Indian sovereignty is good for America.
Kudos Special appreciation to Jim Adams, Indian Country Today staff, who fleshed out the connection of the negative ad campaign to Donald Trump and Atlantic City interests in his quick reporting on this issue.
