Press blurb: It is well-known that there is a complicated relationship
between Native American Tribes and the US government. Relations between
Tribes and the federal government are dominated by the principle that the
government is supposed to engage in meaningful consultations with the
tribes about issues that affect them.


In *Cooperation without Submission*, Justin B. Richland, an associate
justice of the Hopi Appellate Court and ethnographer, closely examines the
language employed by both Tribes and government agencies in over eighty
hours of meetings between the two. Richland shows how Tribes conduct these
meetings using language that demonstrates their commitment to
nation-to-nation interdependency, while federal agents appear to approach
these consultations with the assumption that federal law is supreme and
ultimately authoritative. In other words, Native American Tribes see
themselves as nations with some degree of independence, entitled to
recognition of their sovereignty over Tribal lands, while the federal
government acts to limit that authority. In this vital book, Richland sheds
light on the ways the Tribes use their language to engage in “cooperation
without submission.”
