Tribal Leadership: citizenship and identity
Citizenship is one of the keystones of sovereignty for every tribe.
And it’s absolute: you’re either a tribal citizen through lineal descendancy, blood quantum, or another agreed-up measurement, or you’re not. But Native identity sometimes extends beyond citizenship and there’s little agreement about those boundaries.
Wednesday on Native America Calling, at a time of increasing scrutiny of those who claim — and build careers on — Native identity, Shawn Spruce gets the perspectives from tribal leaders on what makes identity and why it’s so important to get it right.
