Domination Chronicles 021: Tribal Sovereignty 101: Limited Sovereignty, Federal Domination, and the Language Trap.

Mapping the Doctrine of Discovery

Listen to Episode 21: Tribal Sovereignty 101: Limited Sovereignty, Federal Domination, and the Language Trap on Domination Chronicles.

Steve and Peter unpack tribal sovereignty, federal anti-Indian law, Cohen's Handbook, and the domination framework hidden in plain sight.

Peter and I examine why "tribal sovereignty" can become a trap when it is defined by federal anti-Indian law. The episode asks listeners to hear the contradiction inside "limited sovereignty" and to ask who benefits from that language.

I am sharing this episode here because it belongs with my wider work on the language of domination, Christian discovery, federal Indian law, and the continuing reality of Original Nations' free existence. Each conversation in Domination Chronicles is another way into that inquiry.
