Description

The author, a legal scholar and member of the Lumbee tribe, traces the evolution of contemporary legal thought on the rights and status of American Indians and other indigenous tribal peoples. Beginning with an analysis of the medieval Christian crusading era and its substantive contributions to the West’s legal discourse of heathens and infidels, the text explores the development of the ideas that justified the New World conquests of Spain, England and the USA.
