Native American Sovereignty: A Call for Government Accountability, 1979-07-05
The document consists of two letters addressed to United States Representative James R. Jones regarding concerns about federal funds being given to Native American tribes and their autonomy in legal matters. The writers question the justification for providing funds to tribes that have their own courts and laws, and express Carl Albert confusion about the coexistence of two sets of laws in one country. They seek clarification on the direction of the government in these matters.
