John Boonstra writes that instead of trying to abolish tribal governments, leaders need to work with tribal governments on common issues like yunting rights, alcohol sales, land use, and water rights. "Where is the integrity in further violating our word and disrespecting our own U.S. Constitution? Where is our will to affirm diversity and tradition as the strongest ingredients to our unity?" asks Boonstra. Get the Story:
