Self-determination
: the other path for Native Americans
Beschreibung:
Compares and contrasts historical and contemporary Canadian and US Native American policy. This book examines the evolution of property rights, from wildlife in pre-Columbian times and the potential for using property rights to resolve contemporary fish and wildlife issues, to the importance of customs and culture in resource-use decisions.
