excerpt:
We hoped America would remember the advice of legal scholar Felix Cohen, who said the American Indian is the miner's canary for the United States and the general condition of freedom and liberty for America as a whole could be measured by its treatment of Indians. That reflection by Americans has not happened. Instead, American Indian policy has now become general American policy. Look around you.
