520 |a An Indian spokesman calls for the federal government to reopen treaty-making procedures. Originally published in 1974, this book analyzes the history of Indian treaty relations with the United States. Vine Deloria presents population and land ownership information to support his argument that many Indian tribes have more impressive landholdings than some small members of the United Nations. A 2000 study published by the Annual Survey of International and Comparative Law recommends that the United Nations offer membership to the Iroquois, Cherokee, Navajo, and other Indian tribes. Ironically, the study also recommends that smaller tribes band together to form a confederation to seek membership, a suggestion nearly identical to the one the United States made to the Delaware Indians in 1778, and that a presidential commission explore ways to move beyond the Doctrine of Discovery, under which European nations justified their confiscation of Indian lands.
