520 |a The fate of Native Americans has been dependent in large part upon the recognition and enforcement of their legal, political, property, and cultural rights as Indigenous peoples by American courts. Most people think that the goal of the judiciary, and especially the US Supreme Court, is to achieve universal notions of truth and justice.

Echo-Hawk analyzes ten cases that embody or expose the roots of injustice and highligh.
