Hi Team,
I would like to invite you all to an event that draws on many of the themes discussed in this class.
On Monday, October 15, 5pm @ the Native American Rights Fund (1506 Broadway at University, just down the bike path from Starbucks and 3 min. walk from GUGG), Robert J. Miller will be giving a talk on his new book entitled Reservation ‘Capitalism’: Economic Development in Indian Country (Praeger 2012). There will also be a reception and book signing to follow.

Miller will be giving a talk on his new book entitled Reservation ‘Capitalism’: Economic Development in Indian Country (Praeger 2012). There will also be a reception and book signing to follow.
Professor Miller (Eastern Shawnee) is a prominent scholar in American
Indian Law, Civil Procedure and Legal History. Before joining the faculty at
Lewis and Clark Law School, Miller clerked on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
9th Circuit, and practiced at Stoel Rives and Hobbs, Straus, Dean &
Walker.
Chief Justice of the Court of
Appeals of the Grand Ronde Tribe, Miller also serves on other tribal courts.
His book Reservation "Capitalism": Economic Development in Indian Country supplies the true history, present-day circumstances, and potential future of Indian communities and economics. It provides key background information on indigenous economic systems and property rights regimes in what is now the United States, and explains how the vast majority of native lands and natural resource assets were lost. The book focuses on strategies for establishing privately and publicly owned economic activities on reservations and creating economies where reservation inhabitants can be employed, live, and buy the necessities of life, thereby enabling complete tribal self-sufficiency and self-determination.
Review - "Robert Miller delivers first-rate advice on the politics, law, and economics of reservation development. Indian nations — indeed, all nations — can learn from this book's insights. . . . Robert Miller has pulled together an impressive range of scholarly theory, real world experiences of Native leaders, and data. As a result, this book provides a mountain of sound advice to tribal, state and federal policymakers. The advice is delivered without apology by an author who lives and respects his subject."
