Justin B. Richland

The introductory chapter reviews the legal history of the government-to-government relationship between the U.S. government and Native Nations, and how, despite a troubled, volatile political history, Native peoples have never stopped insisting on their own rights as sovereign peoples with a unique relationship to the U.S. It describes this enduring indigenous commitment as akin to what Hopi scholar Emory Sekaquaptewa dubbed “cooperation without submission,” and attempts to situate this understanding in light of prevailing theories and perspectives from critical indigenous and settler colonial Native studies. In so doing, this chapter argues that Prof. Sekaquaptewa's theory might have purchase for understanding how and why advocates for tribal sovereignty in other Native Nations choose to engage the U.S. It then proposes a theory of juris-diction — a theory of legal language that emphasizes its role as simultaneously referring to and enacting legal power and authority — by which to understand how indigenous expressions of “cooperation without submission” turn these engagements into sites for the production and contestation of competing domains of normative authority. It then provides a sketch of the remaining chapters in the volume.
