The article focuses on multiculturalism and the future of tribal sovereignty. Multiculturalism is a sociopolitical phenomenon resulting from the opportune convergence of several interests and ideologies. This movement represents in many respects another stage in the evolution of how civil equality and thus the civil rights movement, has been and ought to be conceptualized. In particular, its premises evince a conceptual shift or departure from the traditional understanding of the nature and meaning of discrimination and of the relationship of discrimination to structures and dynamics of society. The article also discusses the extent which the multiculturalism movement coincides or conflicts with Indian tribalism in the United States. Until 1871, relations between tribes and the United States were frequently memorialized through the ratification of treaties or treaty like arrangements, a medium of relations traditionally reserved for dealings among sovereign state or entities. Today these dealings continue to be characterized by both parties as a government to government relationship set within a context defined by a federal policy of tribal self-governance and self-determination. |
