Uneven Ground: American Indian Sovereignty and Federal Law. By David E. Wilkins and K. Tsianina Lomawaima. (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2001. x, 326 pp. $39.95, ISBN 0-8061-3351-1.)

Political and legal complexities and misunderstandings regarding American Indian sovereignty are well documented in the history of tribal-federal and tribal-state relations. David E. Wilkins, associate professor of American Indian studies, political science, and law at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, and K. Tsianina Lomawaima, professor of American Indian studies at the University of Arizona, offer indigenous perspectives on federal Indian policies and laws related to tribal sovereignty issues and argue for more respect and recognition of the sovereign rights of American Indian nations.
