Sovereignty Matters investigates the multiple perspectives that exist within indigenous communities regarding the significance of sovereignty as a category of intellectual, political, and cultural work. Much scholarship to date has treated sovereignty in geographical and political matters solely in terms of relationships between indigenous groups and their colonial states or with a bias toward American contexts. This groundbreaking anthology of essays by indigenous peoples from the Americas and the Pacific offers multiple perspectives on the significance of sovereignty.

Arguing that the greatest threat to Native American sovereignty in the United States can arguably be said to come from state governments and courts, Bays (geography, Oklahoma State U.) and Fouberg (geography, Mary Washington College) present nine contributions that explore tribal-state relations as it pertains to land use and ownership and other geographical issues. Much of the material analyzes case studies of particular litigations or cooperative programs between the states and the tribes, including jurisdiction and diminishment in South Dakota, the geographic expansion of Indian gaming, the territorial politics of environmental protection, transportation politics in Washington, and cooperative management of the allocation of Pacific Salmon.
