Summing Up: Highly recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty and practitioners. * Choice *This book covers an enormous area of historical and modern-day federal Indian law, which the author calls ANTI-Indian law. Like an iconoclast in the truest sense of the word, dErrico attacks the colonial foundations of Indian law and challenges professors, historians, Indian nations leaders, and tribal attorneys to stop relying on Supreme Court case law that is built on disastrous premises and instead to resist and reverse these foundational principles. * Robert James Miller, Professor, Sandra Day OConnor College of Law at Arizona State University *Many Americans have never heard of the Christian Doctrine of Discovery or understood how the federal government retains nearly unlimited authority over Native lands and nations. Professor dErrico explains how, even today, Indigenous Peoples in the United States live under an exception to U.S. law-an eye-opening revelation for many readers. Federal Anti-Indian Law is an accessible read that reveals the interplay of law with history and should not be limited to legal classrooms-its an important and enlightening book for all people, Indigenous and non-Indigenous alike. * Robert Maxim II (Mashpee Wampanoag), Senior Research Associate, Brookings Institution *Federal Anti-Indian Law is a paradigm-shattering work. Professor dErrico has spent decades teaching, studying, and reflecting upon the system of ideas the U.S. government has used to establish its claim of a right of domination over the original nations and peoples of the continent. * Steven T. Newcomb, Director, Indigenous Law Institute, and author of Pagans in the Promised Land: Decoding the Doctrine of Christian Discovery *Federal Anti-Indian Law is a gut-wrenching analysis. My whole career grappled with the contradictions dErrico illuminates and dissects. One finally comes to understand Louise Erdrichs rotten noodles metaphor for U.S. laws that dominate Indigenous Peoples. * Sarah W. Barlow, Retired Attorney, Albuquerque, NM *In this ground-breaking work, dErrico launches a frontal attack on the whole field of American law pertaining to Indigenous Peoples. He exposes not only the racism, but also the Christian discovery roots of federal domination of the Indian nations, and then goes beyond criticism, offering a way out of this unacceptable situation. This book is a must-read for anyone wanting to understand American history and the questionable basis for U.S. sovereignty. * Kent McNeil, Distinguished Research Professor (Emeritus), Osgoode Hall Law School, York University, Toronto, Canada *Federal Anti-Indian Law provides a significant contribution in establishing a proper context in which to engage in the exercise of identity. Governmental representation at all levels, academia at all levels, and anyone who cares about the Original Free Nations and Peoples of this land should have a better understanding of who these nations and peoples are and where they come from. Where are we all going? is the real question. This book represents a contribution of the type of truthful and respectful communication that is absolutely necessary to know where the future will collectively lead us. * JoDe Goudy (Yakama Nation), Owner, Redthought.org *Covering nearly every influential legislative act, legal decision, and federal policy, Peter dErrico does not take a birds eye view of U.S. Indian law, but brings us down to the ground, revealing a vast, long, and lucid view of the quagmire of anti-Indian law, a system designed to dispossess and dominate, which rests on the ancient foundation of the Christian doctrine of discovery. Under his acute analysis, and with engaged storytelling, the shaky foundation beneath the system gives way, opening more sustainable paths to a just future. * Lisa Brooks, Henry S.Poler 59 Presidential Teaching Professor of English and American Studies, Amherst College; Author of Our Beloved Kin: A New History of King Philips War * Promotional Telling the crucial and under-studied story of the U.S. legal doctrines that underpin the dispossession and domination of Indigenous peoples, this book enhances global Indigenous movements for self-determination. Long Description In this wide-ranging historical study of federal Indian law--the field of U.S. law related to Native peoples--attorney and educator Peter P. dErrico argues that the U.S. governments assertion of absolute prerogative and unlimited authority over Native peoples and their lands is actually a suspension of law. Combining a deep theoretical analysis of the law with a historical examination of its roots in Christian civilization, dErrico presents a close reading of foundational legal cases and raises the possibility of revoking the doctrine of domination. The books larger context is the increasing frequency of Indigenous conflicts with nation-states around the world as ecological crises caused by industrial extraction impinge drastically on Indigenous peoples existences.
