Summary
Sovereignty and Illiberalism: introduces the reader to the different set of rights that are controlling upon tribal governments. The Constitution does not apply in Indian country. This means that tribes may use their inherent sovereignty to do things that appear to intrude on the legal protections of their members. Riley’s piece confronts this tension directly by exploring competing sympathies: tribal sovereignty and civil rights.
