Excerpt
Excerpt: Indian and Native Nations, tribes and communities are in a tug-of-war in Canada and the United States of America. The first nations of North America are locked in a political conflict with the United States and Canadian federal governments and individual State and Provincial governments over the question of, Who will exercise sovereignty over Indian lands and resources and the people who live inside Indian and Native lands. The struggle between Indian Nations, States and the federal governments has its origins in European colonization, and the subsequent formation of the United States of America and Canada. Unsettling as this long-term dispute between nations and states has been to Indian peoples, it now seems to have spawned a reactionary movement among non-Indians against Indians. Incipient racism, economic hard-times and honest fear have combined to form the basis for an organized Anti- Indian Movement that threatens the destabilization of Indian governments and the break-up of Indian Nations.
